A multi-core processor features multiple processing units, or "cores," on a single chip, allowing it to execute multiple tasks simultaneously. This parallel processing capability enhances performance, enabling better multitasking and improved efficiency for applications that can leverage multiple threads. Additionally, multi-core processors typically consume less power than equivalent single-core processors running at higher clock speeds, making them more energy-efficient. Overall, they offer a balance of performance and efficiency, catering to modern computing demands.
•Multi-core processor•Dual-core processor•Quad-core processor
Quite simply, a Uni (Single) core processor has only a single primary calculations core. A Multi (Dual, quad, hexi, etc) core processor has more than one primary calculations core.

Smart phones use single core and multi-core processors.
how does the supermarket use that
multi-core processing
seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
That means a multi core processor is using it's separate processors to individually
Of course it will run. But it will not be making full utilization of the multi-core architecture. In that aspect, single-core processors with more processing power are sometimes better suited to run single threaded application than multi-core processors with less processing power.
