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? Regards,Leonardo C.

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

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 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.
