    Merge CPU cores

    Hello everyone! Is it possible to "merge" CPU threads in proxmox to improve perfomance for VMs, that can't use many threads? For example, i have Dell R430 with two CPUs - 64 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2698 v3 @ 2.30GHz (2 Sockets), but the most important VM on this host has a license limitation...

Let's say i have a physical server with 1 CPU @ 4 Cores/8 Threads and 32GB RAM with Proxmox VE running inside and with that formula, that...

    [SOLVED] Sockets vs Cores vs Threads vs vCPU vs CPU Units

    I've read everything I can about this and I still don't understand how this works in Proxmox. I have a 2 x E5-2698 v3 Server which has 2 sockets, 16 cores per socket, 2 threads per core. So that's a total of 64 threads, 32 physical cores, 2 physical sockets. Proxmox is showing this like this...
