There is no advantage to dual processors unless used on servers or you have apps written to use them (Acad or Adobe Photo Shop).

The MAC hardware has a very different structure as compared to PC hardware.

If there is such a thing as a dual processor MAC/PC system, it likely has the equivalent of dual motherboards.

There are software packages to emulate either style on the other's hardware.

I have read that Apple is working on a PC language!
