20 cores? That's nuts.
The last 2 CPUs I bought had 6-cores.
To run several VMs simultaneously you will want both a lot of ram and
Yes, what little reading I've done says RAM is king.
But another issue is that the original design has a singly data bus. To speed things up you need that the cpu chips can access their own memory pool simultaneously. I suspect that a chip with so many cores doesn't have those many address and data buses, one per core. Actually, I don't know how this is handled. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
