You may want to look here:

Not much about it, but some information on vmx.

One of the Intel support staff will have to provide more information.

In the meantime, I have moved your post to the processors forum where you will get better visibility.

Hello Kavsa

Thank you for joining the community.

To better assist, you may I have a description of what you want to accomplish with the use of the processor and the use of VMX unrestricted guest?

Most likely is for a virtualization environment am I thinking on the right path?

I want to install vmware and inside the box install http://www.eve-ng.net/ Eve-NG simulator

When I tried to use it on older intel CPU like i7 870 I got this error

I tired to install it on a laptop with i5 7300hq and it worked fine i just enabled virtualization feature in bios and that's it

On this i7 870 i tried everything but it simply does not work

Hello Kavsa

Thank you for your response.

Let me share with you a chart with the comparison of the three processors that you mentioned on this thread:

https://ark.intel.com/compare/126688,97456,41315 https://ark.intel.com/compare/126688,97456,41315

The main difference between the 2 newer processor and the older one despite the manufacturing lithography is the Instructions Set included. For instance, the older processor does not have Intel® SSE4.1 and AVX2 Instructions set.

Regarding your main question as per the technology incorporated in the Intel® Core™ I3-8100, I'll say that it should work just fine with the application you want to use. However, my suggestion is to check with the Eve-ng provider to make sure that it accomplishes all their requirements.

Please talk to them and let us know.

Regards,

Leonardo C.
