multi-core processing

Multi-core processing refers to a computer's ability to use several processing units, called "cores," within a single chip. Each core can independently handle tasks, so multiple tasks can be processed simultaneously. This design improves performance and efficiency, allowing the computer to run complex applications faster and handle multitasking more smoothly. Instead of relying on one powerful processor, multi-core systems distribute work across multiple smaller cores, enhancing overall speed without significantly increasing power consumption or heat generation.
