The central processing unit is the most maligned term in the industry, and I have heard it used to define sockets, cores and even threads. Ultimately, the relationship between socket and CPU remains a 1:1 relationship regardless of how the term is actually used. In some wa...

Make sure the BIOS is set to enable all populated processor sockets and to enable all cores in each socket. Enable "Turbo Boost" in the BIOS if your processors support it. Make sure hyper-threading is enabled in the BIOS for processors that support it....
Number of virtual sockets (virtual CPUs) Number of cores per socket The number of cores per socket should always be set to 1, regardless of the number of virtual sockets selected. For example, aCisco Catalyst 8000Vwith a 4 vCPU configuration should be configured ...
Advanced & Enterprise Plus Editions limited to 12 cores per processor VMware adds new editions vSphere Advanced Edition is added which costs less than Enterprise, but supports more cores per processor. The net effect is that a former top tier customer has been effectively downgraded an...
On vSphere, vCPUs can be allocated to a VM by socket, or by number of cores per socket. Historically, VMware had been recommending that, for performance considerations, the number of vCPUs allocated to a VM should be allocated using the "Sockets" options in a vSphere environment. Customers...
At least two CPU cores. Multi-core of 64-bit x86 processors. Requires the NX/XD bit to be enabled for the CPU in the BIOS. Memory VMware VSphere requires a minimum of 8 GB of physical RAM to run virtual machines. But it is always recommended to increase it for better performance. OS...
For hosted shared desktop sessions, the best performance was achieved when the number of vCPUs assigned to the VMware 7 RDS virtual machines did not exceed the number of hyper-threaded (logical) cores available on the server. In other words, maximum performance is obtained when not over...
The 3 ESXi servers are Intel NF5280M6 Ice Lake Servers, each server has 2 sockets, 32 cores per socket, Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6338 CPU @ 2.00GHz, with 256GB RAM.The vCenter version was 8.0.0 build 20519528.The 3 ESXi client servers are connected to the Lightbits servers via a ...
There are multiple CPU sockets on the motherboard of each CPU -- which has multiple cores -- that can directly access a portion of the server's memory. When hardware accesses other CPU-accessible memory locations on the host through an interconnect bus, it can cause memory access latency. ...
