AFAIK, Windows isn’t limited by the number of cores, but the number of physical CPUs. Home and Pro allow 1(?) CPU, but Server you pay per CPU.
Although, I’m not sure how the 64 cores are presented to the OS. If they’re presented as, say, 2 32 core CPUs, Windows will complain.
- tpxl 7y agoWindows 7 [something] definitely allows for more than 1 CPU. I mistakenly configured KVM to show 10 CPUs with 2 cores each instead of 1 CPU with 10 cores with 2 threads each, and it definitely showed more than one CPU in the task manager (and less than ten).
- dijit 7y agoWindows does "weird things" with high core counts, I don't remember the exact number but when I had a high cored machine before it presented as "2 cores" in the second numa zone and the remainder in the first. like: zone1: 62 cores, zone2: 2 cores the OS was also rather unstable.
