Subject: Ruby Multi-threading?

I read a Ruby e-book recently that indicated that although Ruby has
Multi-threading capabilities, it is a fake multi-threading. I.e., the
interpreter simply switches between the executing threads, rather than
running them concurrently.

Then recently I came across an online Ruby tutorial that specifically
said that Ruby threads could be executed in parallel on a multi-core
machine. So I'm a little confused.

Does Ruby have real multi-threading, or is it just context switching?
This is a rather important issue for me.
