Epinephrine,

How complex of a task would it be to design such a dual core solution from an existing single core design?

Assuming that the Athlon core is already equipped for multiprocessing, it shouldn't be a very big deal. All that is required is to connect both cores to a coherent L2, and snoop the memory accesses on both sides of the L2.

Operating system support may be more of an issue.
