It's 8-core, but they're 4 performance and 4 low-power cores, so it's not your normal 8-core chip. It's more like a big.LITTLE chip.
There isn't an option like taskset on Linux to pin or move tasks among different cores, or like anything that's exposed in Linux's sysfs.
To offline a core:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online
To online a core:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online
Where cpuN is 0-4. Keep in mind there's always one core you cannot disable to process interrupts.
