The total CPU utilization was stuck at slightly over 50%. 8 and 16 were supported by the UI.īut in all 4 cases, I tried running some benchmarks, and the numbers were identical! I looked at the per-core CPU utility in HWInfo, and it seems that all of the CPU were pinned on the efficiency cores and my power cores were barely getting any use.
The 24 core version refused to boot, i didn't debug that further. I can edit the vmx file manually and manually specify the number of cores via the numvcpus parameter, but that leads to problem two:Ģ) Something is wrong with processor performance. That's only 2/3, leaving a lot of wasted power!? There are several problems that I've noticed:ġ) cannot specify the right number of cores: Since the # of processors and cores per processor are powers of two, the maximum I can configure in the UI is 16 cores out of 24 that I have.
I have an intel i9-12900 processor running VMWare Workstation Pro 16 on windows 11 running Ubuntu 18.04 guest.
