Default Will all Core 2 chips allow for quad processing?

I am planning on building a new system soon. I've seen mention of having 2
dual core chips from AMD and Intel effectively giving you quad processing.
I haven't seen any info on if the first release chips from either company
support this with a new motherboard chipset or if a totally different CPU is
required.

Thanks

Both companies already have CPUs out that support this - the dual-core
Opterons, and dual-core "Paxville" Xeons, both support dual-socket
configurations for four cores total. The Paxvilles even support
Hyperthreading, giving you 8 virtual CPUs. (In my experience, though,
it doesn't help much.)
