Hi ,
I have a two node RAC on RHEL.
I saw the following in my AWR in terms of configurations. Though the number of cores are same, the number of CPUs are different. Will it make any difference in performance and load balancing?

Host Name

Platform

CPUs

Cores

Sockets

Memory (GB)

racdb1.mwallet.ccd.infosys.com

Linux x86 64-bit

Also kindly let me know the difference between CPU and core.

Thanks and Regards,
