Is this right way of assigning 8 Cpu's on Vmware?

I have research but couldn't find a right answer. What is the difference between virtual socket and core per socket.

There is no difference at all. By VMWare's own admission (I tried googling for it but couldn't find it, although I know I've given this answer on this site before), that option exists so that you can stay within the licensing restrictions for non-VM-aware applications that might be licensed per socket.

For eight CPUs you can assign 1 socket, 8 cores, or 2 sockets 4 cores, or 4 sockets, 2 cores.

Makes no difference.
