I have no real idea except that the more the better.

More about : cuda core

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and programming model created by NVIDIA and implemented by the graphics processing units (GPUs) that they produce.[1] CUDA gives program developers direct access to the virtual instruction set and memory of the parallel computational elements in CUDA GPUs.

Using CUDA, the GPUs can be used for general purpose processing (i.e., not exclusively graphics); this approach is known as GPGPU. Unlike CPUs, however, GPUs have a parallel throughput architecture that emphasizes executing many concurrent threads slowly, rather than executing a single thread very quickly.

Basically the term given by nvidia to its graphics card processing core,i don't really have the time to analyze it thoroughly but i think its pretty savy.Higher the no of cores the faster and better your card though differences in other specs may make a gpu having lower cores perform faster or slower depending on the cards being compared.

That is not always the case. For example GTX 580 has 512 Cuda cores, and GTX 750 Ti also has 512 cuda cores. and the GTX 580 is still better because, it also depends on what the cores emphasized to do.
