What is core per socket in VMware?
When you choose cores per socket, the system divides the number of CPUs by the number of cores to back into the number of physical sockets. So in your case, the maximum number of logical processors you can assign to any VM is no more than the total on the system (12).
What does cores per socket mean?
A normal PC only have one socket. Cores are the number of CPU-cores per CPU capsule. A modern standard CPU for a standard PC usually have two or four cores. And some CPUs can run more than one parallel thread per CPU-core.
What are cores in VMware?
A core contains a unit containing an L1 cache and functional units needed to run applications. Cores can independently run applications or threads. One or more cores can exist on a single CPU.
Is VMware license per socket or core?
With this change, VMware is still using the per-CPU licensing model, but we will require one license for any software offering that we license on a per-CPU basis, for up to 32 physical cores. That is, the license will cover CPUs with up to 32 physical cores.
What’s the difference between cores and processors?
The main difference between CPU and Core is that the CPU is an electronic circuit inside the computer that carries out instruction to perform arithmetic, logical, control and input/output operations while the core is an execution unit inside the CPU that receives and executes instructions.

How many cores do I have VMware?
Browse to the host in the vSphere Client. Under Hardware, expand CPU to view the information about the number and type of physical processors and the number of logical processors.
What is per socket licensing?
Per socket means per installed CPU.
How do CPU cores work?
Processor cores are individual processing units within the computer’s central processing unit (CPU). The processor core receives instructions from a single computing task, working with the clock speed to quickly process this information and temporarily store it in the Random Access Memory (RAM).
