In geometry, 8 way rotational symmetry indicates that an object looks "the same" when turned to any one of 8 directions.

In computer hardware, 8 way symmetric multiprocessing indicates a computer that has 8 identical CPU cores that are treated interchangeably.

Those 8 cores may in individual chip on the motherboard, or perhaps several cores per chip, or perhaps (such as in the Parallax P8X32 Propeller) all 8 cores are packaged in a single chip.
