I love technology but don't really have any one in my life who has in depth knowledge of things, so I don't know some times if a sale is worth it or if i should just get a better part. What is the difference between and 8 core and 10 core processor? Is it substantial enough that I should just get a 10 core?

Hey @GeoCPU cores are individual nodes of a CPU that allow it to process tasks. So, more cores = more multitasking.Here's a Techquickie video that does a great job explaining the difference : How Do CPUs Use Multiple Cores?The video is growing a bit outdated at this point but the base concept holds true. Modern titles have made improvements to take advantage of more CPU cores and threads.I'd also recommend checking out our How to Choose Your Parts Processor Guide for our recommendation on what CPU to buy!
