For the average home user I don't think you will have any use for the still over priced multi-core processors. Most home users are not using the full capability of the computer they have now, if it is a modern system to start with.

In short, it's the applications that make the difference. Applications that only run in a single thread, or that can only be moderately parallelized, won't show much improvement on a multi-core system. Examples of such applications include word processing, Web browsing and reading static content (i.e., Adobe Acrobat or Word documents).
