Multitasking is running several (usually CPU-demanding) programs/threads/processes/whatever at once, say, running crysis while running virusscan and compressing a few gigabytes of stuff would be multi-tasking...the more (CPU intensive) programs/task you use at the same time, the bigger the advantage of having more cores is.
