And the answer is still the same.
1 cpu = one core. You may have a dual- or 8-core chip depending if you have p5/6 or p7 but your cpu still has/is one core - with one, two or (on p7) 4 parallel threads depending on your SMT settings.
The system is likely to spread your 2 cpus across more than one physical chip if possible.

Hi everyone!
I plan to build a cluster. Anyone help me some problem:
1. How many node can rhel support in a cluster system?
2. How many processor or core can rhel support in single node?
3. How many processor or core in a node and system give the maximum benefit.

CPUPOWER-FREQUENCY-INFO(1) cpupower Manual CPUPOWER-FREQUENCY-INFO(1)
NAME
cpupower frequency-info - Utility to retrieve cpufreq kernel information
SYNTAX
cpupower [ -c cpulist ] frequency-info [options]
DESCRIPTION
A small tool which prints out cpufreq information helpful to developers and interested users.
OPTIONS
-e --debug
Prints out debug information.
-f --freq
Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, according to the cpufreq core.
-w --hwfreq
Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, by reading it from hardware (only available to root).
-l --hwlimits
Determine the minimum and maximum CPU frequency allowed.
-d --driver
Determines the used cpufreq kernel driver.
-p --policy
Gets the currently used cpufreq policy.
-g --governors
Determines available cpufreq governors.
-a --related-cpus
Determines which CPUs run at the same hardware frequency.
-a --affected-cpus
Determines which CPUs need to have their frequency coordinated by software.
-s --stats
Shows cpufreq statistics if available.
-y --latency
Determines the maximum latency on CPU frequency changes.
-o --proc
Prints out information like provided by the /proc/cpufreq interface in 2.4. and early 2.6. kernels.
-m --human
human-readable output for the -f, -w, -s and -y parameters.
REMARKS
By default only values of core zero are displayed. How to display settings of other cores is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the
--cpu option section.
You can't specify more than one of the output specific options -o -e -a -g -p -d -l -w -f -y.
You also can't specify the -o option combined with the -c option.
