vSphere will match with the competitor hypervisor to deliver up to 8 vCpu per VM. This will increase the CPU resources to VM guest which may require more than 4 vcpu previously. At the same time, it also provide the flexibility to support multiple vcpu from 1 to 8.
Configure 5 Vcpu for the VM
Task Manager in Windows show 5 cores are active
Summary Tab shows 5 vcpu had been assigned. In physical Server environment, we will usually start with 1 cpu, 2 cpus, 4 cpus, 8 cpus and etc. This features from vmware vSphere is really helpful and allow us to control and prevent over provision to the virtual Machine
