*VMware Hardware
Version 10
This version of VMware Workstation includes VMware hardware
Version 10 and is
compatible with vSphere 5.5. Hardware versions introduce new
virtual hardware
functionality and new features while enabling VMware to run
legacy operating
systems in our virtual machines. New features included in
this hardware
version:
*16 vCPUs
Virtual machines can now run with up to 16 virtual CPUs.
This enables very
processor intensive applications to be run in a virtual
machine.
Note: Running virtual machines with 16 vCPUs requires that
both your host
and guest operating system support 16 logical processors.
Your physical
machine must have at least 8 cores with hyper-threading
enabled to power
on a virtual machine with this configuration.
