^^^ The number of "cores" refers to the number of rows of vertical passes/channels built into the radiator. Some European cars have radiators with horizontal passes but it amounts to the same thing; the more cores, the greater the fluid capacity and the more efficient the heat exchange is when there is a greater cooling surface area is exposed to the air.
Stock configuration for the car in question is just one row (single core)but u can have radiators fabricated with more cores.
