These are much more powerful than the Backgroundworker
partitioning of the work,
taking care of state management,
scheduling threads on the thread pool,
using callback methods
enabling continuation or cancellation of tasks.
Data and task parallelism
Schedule threads in a thread pool
Ability to use all available cores
Cancellation of work
Partitioning of work
A task is a lightweight object that manages a parallelism unit of work
Tasks use the CLRs thread pool which avoids creating a new thread.
