Shalom Shiv,

Yes.

Those processors can be dual core now for extra processing power.

Yes you are right.
I guess your confusion has come from the dual-core processor and you wish to know if nomenclature has changed.
Now with dual core processors - 8 way will mean 4 dual-core processors accounting to 8 processors and 16 way will mean - 8 dual-core accounting to 16 processors.
I hope this is what you wanted to confirm.
