I don't think Wikipedia can explain implementation details of the LCL/RTL..
But if TCriticalSection uses a MUTEX (which in fact is a FUTEX as (on Linux) it uses pthreadlib mutex function from LibC, which automatically uses FUTEX if available in the underlying arch, otherwise fallback to MUTEX) (and I believe it is implemented this way) same blocks all at the start of the section independently from the core they run on, and thus no concurrent access can happen.
