Something to keep in mind if you use it, VMware just changed their licensing for CPUs over 32 cores require an additional ESXi license. So that 64 core processor now requires 2 licenses instead of one!
- jmt_ 7y agoWow, I had no idea. Super useful to know. Just seems like a money grab from VMware.
- blakes 7y agoMS has done the same thing, they all saw the writing on the wall a few years ago. MS licensing is complicated, but you must buy a minimum of 16 cores, then you get license packs for additional cores.

- Turbots 7y agoLicensing just pivoted to core-based instead of cpu based, which makes total sense.
