Yes. Different cores, no SMT involvement, no KSM/dedup, no shared pages. Only requirement is two cooperating agents in same machine.
cpuset can partition cores, but it cannot partition the memory pipe (DRAM channels and the memory controller are one socket entity in this machine, but I think socket pinning could mitigate)
Btw, there are even more whispering attacks available, and there's plenty of literature to cram through.
