pcsx2 can use at least 2 threads. Using a speedhack that breaks some games you can at least get 3 threads.
If you renderer in sw you get an infinite amount of threads at least for the gs.
Multi-threading is only reasonable if you don't need synchronization between threads or synchronizations takes a shorter amount of time than what you save by using multiple threads. Both is questionable for pcsx2 if you want to get even more threads (e.g. multithreaded EE).

No, it won't be enough for pcsx2.

The new stable release will be available when, there has been a lot of changes Implemented and when the devs think, it's ready for it. No, the developers aren't taking break. they are still working on lots of commits and Implementing changes.
We're supposed to be working as a team, if we aren't helping and suggesting things to each other, we aren't working as a team.

By default PCSX2 uses 2 threads. You can enable MTVU and PCSX2 will use 3 threads but it breaks some games. The software mode of GSdx support unlimited threads. You can specify the number of extra rendering threads.

I imagine we would see a very noticeable speedup for Atoms, the Kabini-based Athlons, any APU or FX chip, even the i5, i7 and Xeon E3s.
PCSX2 by default supports two threads/cores and speedhacks allow all the way to three cores.

We might be talking about the newer tablet Atoms...
But yes, Jaguar (Kabini specifically) >>>>>>>>>>> Atom
