CS:GO, being quite optimized for various systems, primarily uses up to 4 cores effectively. Although it can run on systems with more cores, you won't see significant performance improvements beyond 4 cores because it relies more on CPU clock speed than the number of CPU cores.

4 cores is the sweet spot for CS:GO. More cores won't hurt, but they won't boost your FPS much either.

Don't bother with an 8-core CPU just for CS:GO. Save your money.

Honestly, CS:GO doesn't need more than a quad-core processor. It's more about the GHz your CPU can handle. Got an old dual-core with high GHz? You're probably good to go.
