You would get this benefit from a single Core 2 Duo
processor. The processor includes two processing
cores. You're not getting 4 of these with the new
Apple's - you're getting 2. They're just claiming that
since each processor has 2 cores, you're getting the
effect of 4 processors.

The benefit of this will not (for most applications)
be nearly as great at the same price as going with a
single Core 2 Duo processor and a strong video card.
