Hi,  
I am emulating the Jetson Orin Nano 8 GB on the AGX Orin developer kit. According to the specifications that I found [here](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-orin/), the Orin Nano comes with 6 cores, but when I run tegrastats or open the Jetson Power GUI, I can see 8 cores, all of them working.  
Is that expected or is it an issue with the emulation?

Thanks.

The number of cores should match Orin Nano configuration, I have forwarded to internal team to check this issue.

Thanks

Even though emulation shows total 8 CPU cores, only 6-cores are active, so it still matches with Orin-Nano nvpmodel specification.
