Wow! AWESOME QUESTION!!!

*****  METAPHOR ALERT  *****

The CPU is like the ENGINE of the computer. From one side, intel is
trying to sell us that we are getting twice (2) the CPUs. To me a dual
"CORE" processor -> note processo(R) not processor(S) <- is like a V-8
with dual Carbs. You can either think of the Processor as TWO BANKs of 4
cylinders on ONE engine or Dual Carbs on one engine in this case DUAL
CORE does NOT mean DUAL ENGINE...

I think legally it is ONE processor until they call it processors.
