An administrator is creating a VM that will be running Windows 2008 Enterprise
(64-bit). The application to be installed in the VM requires 8 vCPUs to run effectively.
During installation, the only available options are 1,2,3 or 4 vCPUs. Which of the
following explains the available vCPU selections?
A.
The ESX Host has 2 AMD dual-core CPUs
B.
The ESX Host has 2 Intel dual-core CPUs
C.
The Virtual Machine Version is 7
D.
8 vCPU support is only available for 32-bit guest OS VMs
The correct answer is actually B. The ESX Host has 2 Intel dual-core CPUs.
No, Intel is hyper-threaded which means it would support it. AMD is not.
