The CPUs used in modern computers are called dual-core or quad-core processors. Why is this a significant change from the previous generation of CPUs?

Hello, I'm not sure that I'm posting to the right group - sorry if I'm wrong. We need to choose hardware platform for our network processing appliance (common 1-2U server, not an embedded device).
