A characteristic of a multiprocessor system is the ability to execute multiple processes or threads simultaneously, which enhances performance and throughput. These systems often share a common memory space, enabling efficient communication and data sharing between processors. Additionally, multiprocessor systems can provide increased reliability and fault tolerance, as the failure of one processor may not significantly impact overall system functionality.
Multi processor & time-sliced
Multi-programming
A processor housing that contains more than one processor is referred to as a "multi-processor system" or "multiprocessing system." This configuration allows multiple CPUs to work together to improve performance and efficiency by sharing the computational load. Multi-processor systems are commonly used in servers and high-performance computing environments.

XP Home Edition is limited to one processor DIE. It can have any number of CORES. XP can see all of the cores of a Core 2 Quad, for instance. Even if the system in question had two separate die, or chips, XP would still work. It just wouldn't be able to use the second processor.
A multi-core processor is one which combines what are essentially multiple CPUs into a single chip. As far as the operating system and other software are concerned, it is the same as a dual or quad-cpu computer system, even though the cpus are physically one single unit.

In a multicore or multi-CPU system, processor affinity refers to what cores or CPUs a given process can run on. The application can be forced to prefer some cores or processors over others.
Microprocessor is a single chip processor.
Multi-processing is the capability to support and utilize multiple processor at the same in a computer
It can use either.
