is VID Vcore?

well yes and no
VID is the chip datum voltage for stock speeds (aka stock Vcore)
the lower the better (be not directly linked to OCability as some 'higher' VID chip clock extremely well)
it is however directly linked to heat produced - lower vid = cooler chip

Vcore is the amount of volts the motherboard is supplying the chip

The VID is the "stock" vCore for each chip, and it varies from chip to chip based on Intel's testing procedures. The VID will tell the motherboard: "This is the voltage I require at stock speeds when the VCore setting is on 'Auto' for proper operation." Nothing more. It is said that a lower VID value will yield better overclocks, but nothing's been conclusively proven.
