Because we already have the software for multi-threading/tasking/processing. The only software that needs to know about the dual-core is the OS, user space software will automatically take advantage of the extra processor. The major impact that this will have is in cost, it's already possible to buy multi-processor systems but the cost is prohibitive (though I imagine there are some benefits to be had in terms of latencies between the processors).
