Dumb question but... what do multiple cores in processors even do? Sure an 18 core processor sounds a lot, but how much does it actually increase performance?

Actually relevant to me too, unlike graphics card stuff, since the PC games I play are all processor intensive rather than graphics intensive.

Nothing yet since most games  for pc are optimized to only use four cores, but in the future, most games will have to run on even more cores. Also if you use stuff like photoshop or vegas pro, the more cores the better.
