Hi there.
In very simple, easy term, it's two CPU/processor cores on a single die (or known better as a chip with lots of pins).
For more info, check this site:

Hope this helps

A multi-core microprocessor is one that combines two or more independent processors into a single package, often a single integrated circuit (IC). A dual-core device contains two independent microprocessors. In general, multi-core microprocessors allow a computing device to exhibit some form of thread-level parallelism (TLP) without including multiple microprocessors in separate physical packages. This form of TLP is often known as chip-level multiprocessing.
In other words, you have two chips joined together. The circuit is shorter, therefore less degration of the data and you can send more data then. Just imagine two guys working in the same room talking to each other. Then the same two guys in two seperate rooms trying to talk to each other. At times, their words may not be easily understood, so they have to take the time to repeat them. Just a basic analogy.

A dual core processor has two single processors inside, which work together.

2 unit of processors in one chip
they run seperate process on the same time.
e.g. althon64x2 2000MHz
means 2 A64 2000MHz in 1 processor chip.
