if you think of the processor as a worker in a business then more cores would mean more workers. the more workers you have the more work gets done. Multicore simply means that there are more "workers" applying themselves to a task. there are 3 main standards for cores. dual core, quad core, six core. some triple cores are available.

Is the multicore processor the most important hardware component in a computer?
Not really, the vast majority of computers ever built had only one CPU (i.e. core) and thus functioned perfectly well without a multicore processor.
Which CPUs have extra hardware built in to allow more than one thread to be processed at the same time on a single CPU?
Multicore
When was Multicore Association created?
Multicore Association was created in 2005.
Which a term given to a computer type that utilises more than 1 processor?
Multiprocessor, as opposed to Multicore, which is more than 1 core within a single physical CPU.
What is the concept of processor affinity?
In a multicore or multi-CPU system, processor affinity refers to what cores or CPUs a given process can run on. The application can be forced to prefer some cores or processors over others.
1 CPU is how many processors?
CPU means Central Processing Unit,it is another name of processor.So 1 CPU means 1 processor
How many transistors are fitted into a CPU today?
As of the end of 2016, high end multicore microprocessors have from 3,000,000,000 to 8,000,000,000 transistors. But there are plenty of other medium range microprocessors and microcontrollers with much fewer transistors being manufactured.
Is a dual processor CPU better?
Whether or not you get any benefit from a dual core processor over a single core processor depends on what operating system and what programs you are running. Newer operating systems (Windows 7, Mac OSX) do use multicore processors. Also, using multiple programs on a computer will better utilize a multicore processor. In short, yes it can make a difference for today's average user.
Which cooling pad designs are best for a CPU?
There are a number of different CPU cooling pad designs. The most appropriate design to use will depend on the CPU and motherboard configuration and the available budget.
What is the CPU in the computer system?
control people urself
Does CPU consist of control?
No. CPU means Central Processing Unit. This is your computer's "tower".
What kind of software tests the CPU OCCT stress?
OCCT is a software program for checking the stability of a PC by performing stress-tests upon the PC's CPU. In general, this means sending large quantities of highly complex instructions to the CPU in an unending stream, which is contrary to typical computer programs which typically won't be constantly doing work through the CPU. As a result, the electrical components of the CPU will heat up faster, and any flaws or stress failures in the CPU design can be shown much faster.
