GPU's do their work by doing lots of tasks at the same time. These tasks are done by small workers. The cores.
CPU's cores are much larger because they handle much more robust tasks.
Or this is how it was explained to me when I first got into computers.
And if you are wondering why don't we use GPU's to do the work of CPU's? Well first of all, capability of the cores. Second of all, we are trying to. AMD with their APU's is an attempt at this. So is Nvidia's CUDA.
In the meantime Intel has been making cards like Graphics cards but with CPU cores in them instead.... They are hella expensive and would make any coder I believe... wet their pants.
I think intel uses a different term, but white cheddar, orange cheddar, its still cheddar.
