I don't think Pentium D processors are suppose to have two cores. Some of them have hyperthreading which can make then behave like they have two cores.
The Pentium D (dual) has two physical cores smudged together on one die, for a total of two cores.
The Pentium D Extreme(955,965,etc) has two physical cores that each have a hyperthreaded side as well, making for 4 "cores".. and for the thousand US dollars it costs, it'd better have all 4.
