Intel is currently preparing a six core processor for release.Four processor are the most you can get now.
The highest number of cores in a single processor chip for consumers (high end servers) is the AMD Opteron 6000 series, with 16 cores per processor, and quad processor motherboards allowing for a total number of 64 x86 cores.
Four independent cores into a single package composed of a single IC. A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores.

seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
is the processor with dual cores.
6 cores
One graph - one core inside your processor. Two graphs - two cores inside your processor. Four graphs = four cores inside your processor. And so on... This could also indicate the presence of Intel's "Hyperthreading" which allows a single core to act as two cores as far as the OS is concerned.
Intel Quad Core is one of the newer technologies developed by Intel for their consumer level Core 2 Quad and higher end Xeon processors. Basically, a quad core processor incorporates four processors onto one chip. In theory, you could see a massive improvement in performance from a quad core system but in reality, most programs, (and operating systems for that matter) do not yet support full utilization of all four cores.
It depends on what kind of processor you are talking about. If you are talking about a CPU, the main processor in a computer, the reason for multiple cores and not a single very processor is a fairly simple answer. Imagine you have a toll booth (the CPU), with a number of lanes (cores in the CPU). In real life the technology only exists to build a toll booth of a certain size. So what happens? You build more lanes and add more toll booths. That is basically the reason for building multiple cores.
Yes it is for finding out what processors are Single/Dual/Quad cores you can use this website. The page given corresponds with your processor.
dual core
Computer processor cores come as single core (one processor), Dual core (two processors), Quad core (four processors) and Six Core. Although apple now offers a computer which can have 8 or 12 cores
