From the articles I've read recently, 8 CPU's seems to be the point where the scalability ratio starts dropping. See the following articles for examples:
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/mysql_perf_tune.html http://corporateclub.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/download/Main/Technology/mysql-performance-whitepaper.pdf I know there were some presentations at this years MySQL Conference that went over this (MySQL Performance Landscape comes to mind). You might be able to find a presentations on the mysql site.
