Not sure but here are some ideas:
A processor. CPU or GPU
The first CPU chip was released on November 15, 1971 by Intel. The processor was called the Intel 4004 and was a 4-bit CPU.
Data run's through a processor CPU = Core Processing Unit but yes CPU is the same thing as a Processor or ''Data Processor''
Central Processor Unit --> CPU
Because CPU is short for Central Processor Unit.
An AMD Opteron is not a CPU, but rather it is a processor inside a CPU. The AMD Opteron just recently came out with their newest model, the 6300. It is said to be the first 16-core x86 processor.

"CPU" can represent "central processing unit" or "central processor unit." It is the primary computer hardware responsible for input, output, and operating on data. Note that some computers lack a CPU, as computation is spread over multiple units.
It depends on what kind of processor you are talking about. If you are talking about a CPU, the main processor in a computer, the reason for multiple cores and not a single very processor is a fairly simple answer. Imagine you have a toll booth (the CPU), with a number of lanes (cores in the CPU). In real life the technology only exists to build a toll booth of a certain size. So what happens? You build more lanes and add more toll booths. That is basically the reason for building multiple cores.
What CPU can you buy for a core 2 quad processor Q6700 2.66GHz 8 MB CPU? The Core 2 Quad Processor Q6700 2.66GHz ISthe CPU. CPU means "Central Processing Unit", which is the processor chip.
Pentium D was the first dual-core cpu.
it is a processor
