Processors or CPUs mean the same thing. They are the hardware devices (or parts of a chip) that execute the instructions in a program. Processes or Threads, are activities that can run inside a processor. A thread is simply a discrete set of instructions that are executed by the CPU. Some applications run quite happily with a single thread. Others require multiple threads in order to perform different parts of the program in parallel. However, using multiple threads is not always the most efficient way to run an application, since a single CPU (or 'core' in a modern chip) can only run one thread at a time. So if you have a four-core chip you can run four threads in parallel with reasonable efficiency. With a single core it would probably not be very efficient owing to operating system overhead to manage switching between threads. Unless you really need threads, and fully understand the concept and practicalities of them, they are best avoided.
