Generally speaking, dual-core processors are counted as a single
processor for software licenses. As long as it's still one chip, it
counts that way. I have not seen a software license define a processor
differently.
Of course this is awesome news, with things like quad-core processors
on the horizon. Having a dual-processor quad-core system would be
insane for a sql server box. I can't wait.
