What does the number of ways of a processor mean

I am doing some hardware work and I do not know what is the difference between a 4 way processor and an 8 way processor. Can please anyone clarify what does way mean?.

Thanks a lot.

NOT true!!! 8 way processing is actually 4 cores... called quad core and 4 way processing is actually a dual core processor
