This Gauge32 reports the number of CPU cores that are actually enabled and usable, which can be lower than numOfCores if per-core licensing (a Cisco feature that lets fewer cores be activated than are physically present) has capped the usable core count. An admin troubleshooting unexpectedly low compute performance compares numOfCoresEnabled against numOfCores to check whether core licensing, not a hardware fault, is the cause. A value of 16 with numOfCores at 32 would indicate exactly half the physical cores are licensed and active.
