Hi Guys,
Physical Hardware
ESXi version 6.5
Processor Type: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz
Sockets: 2
Cores per Socket: 6
Hyperthreading: Yes, enabled
There appears to be mixed views online in terms of setting the number of CPU's on a VM.
Just need to iron this out and hope someone can help on this forum.
Basically I have a VM currently setup with 4 cores and 2 sockets (8 CPU's).
Would this perform better if I had set it up with 2 cores and 4 sockets (also 8 CPU's)?
The typical processors running on this particular Windows 2016 VM is usually Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Chrome, Firefox...etc
nothing too taxing that requires Hyperthreading, however Hyperthreading is active.
Many thanks in advanced
Kind Regards
GMSS
