I don't know what you are talking about here... Asterisk is a heavily threaded application, and will take full advantage of the number of processors/cores in your system. Especially when transcoding is involved, having multiple cores available makes a significant difference.

This has been true for all released versions of Asterisk; there was never a released version of Asterisk that didn't 'support' multiple processors.
