Reference Performance Best Practices for VMware vSphere 5.5 (page 44): http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere5.5.pdf Recommended Practices #1 When creating a virtual machine, by default, vSphere will create as many virtual sockets as you’ve requested vCPUs and the cores per soc...
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. Some NUMA-...

So, you will need 200 Cores, and within a single server, that will likely mean you must deploy a physical server capable of supporting 2 sockets, and 100 cores per socket. This represents a redundancy tax of 100% and is the least efficient method to deploy your nodes. To maintain Quorum...
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...

CPUs contain cores. CPU Socket: A CPU socket is a physical connector on a computer motherboard that connects to a single physical CPU. Some motherboards have multiple sockets and can connect multiple multicore processors (CPUs). Because of the need to make a clear distinction between "Physical...
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...
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...
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 ...
