However, the effectiveness of this technique depends on the operating system you’re running as well as the specific application you’re running many operating systems and applications used to not be able to take advantage of multiple cores and would, as a result, not see any measurable advantage from the extra cores. The reasoning behind having more cores on a CPU is that it can often be advantageous to split computing tasks between multiple cores rather than one massive one in order to allow it to finish more quickly and efficiently. A core is essentially an entire CPU, so a multi-core processor is like putting several CPUs together and having them work in tandem.

Each core has its own processing hardware and cache, and is connected to the rest of the CPU through the chip’s shared memory and the system bus.
