Best CPU for virtualization

[Moudar]

Hi

I wonder which CPU is better for Virtualization! (Vmware)

for example Intel Core i9-13900K

How would this processor work with Virtualization of many VMs (Many windows VMs and other Linux VMs at the same time)

Is it a good choice for this purpose? I mean a Virtualization LAB PC that will run many VMs at the same time.

Gaming is not my thing, what i am looking for is a CPU that can run many VMs at the same time.

What about XEON processors that lies at the same price level?

Hello Moudar, 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I understand that you need further information related to virtualization with our processors.

Bear in mind that the processor features may be limited by the motherboard manufacturer since they can add/block/limit/remove any feature based on their needs. I cannot recommend you a specific CPU since this will depend on the budget, components, and additional use, so I recommend you check with the motherboard manufacturer to confirm support and compatibility with virtualization.

You can check the CPU that supports virtualization and choose the one that fits better for you:

Also, you can check the compatible motherboards for the chosen processor in the following link:
