If I have a 1.6 GHz Dual Core CPU, does it mean that there are two CPUs of frequency 800MHz?

no. dual core means the processor has two layers so it can perform multi tasking with same process speed. wherein a normal processor process speed will be reduced.

It means that you have one physical processor but with two cores effectively making it a dual processor it also means it is better at multitasking.

It's something like 2 processors in one.
There aren't complete but only 2 cores.

It just means it can do two things at once.
It's like you having two brains.
Hope this helps...
