what is core in laptop

In a laptop, a core refers to a CPU core, which is a single processing unit within the CPU that can execute instructions. A CPU can have multiple cores, and each core can perform operations separately from the others. Multiple cores may also work together to perform parallel operations on a shared set of data in the CPUs memory cache. Having multiple cores can speed up the processing time of a CPU and allow for better multitasking and performance, especially for demanding applications like video games and video editing software. Laptops typically have fewer cores than desktop PCs, primarily because laptops have less power than a comparable desktop. Most users are well served with 2 or 4 cores, but video editors, engineers, data analysts, and others in similar fields will want at least 6 cores.
