Yeah, CS:GO can definitely use 4 cores. The game's designed to run on a variety of systems, and having more cores can help with multitasking and keeping things smooth, especially if you're running other stuff in the background. But remember, CS:GO relies more on CPU frequency than the number of cores, so a higher GHz matters a lot too!

Honestly, CS:GO is not that demanding. It's more about your core speed than the number of cores. Even a dual-core can run it fine if it's fast enough.

It does, but don't expect a massive boost in performance just by having more cores. CS:GO is pretty old school and values clock speed over core count. So, while it'll use those 4 cores, cranking up the GHz will give you the real speed.

Only 4? My toaster has more cores. Seriously though, CS:GO will run on 4 cores but throw in a good GPU and make sure your clock speed is high to get the best experience.
