if it's a good program the number of CPU cores definitely make a difference. I have 2 machines here, one with an older core2duo and one with a quadcore. both need more or less the same time for one video - but the quad core has 4 parallel slots compared to 2 on the other machine and is therefore twice as fast on bigger jobs.
so my next machine will have 2 quad cores which cuts down encoding time by another 50%

Yes and no. As I said in my post above, dedicated graphics is more important to video rendering times than how many cores you have. My core 2 duo with 512MB dedicated graphics renders videos faster than my roommates quadcore with shared graphics. Look for the highest amount of dedicated graphics and a good card before how many cores the computer has.
