I have the CPU - Intel Pentium Gold G6400 - https://benchgame.com/en/cpu/2116-intel-pentium-gold-g6400
I like to install MongoDB 5.0 on my VM with Ubuntu 20.04.4 as docker.
When I tried to install the docker I saw this error message.

WARNING: MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support, and your current system does not appear to have that!.

Based on CPU characteristics it is possible to see that my CPU supports AVX.

My present VM CPU type is set - Default (kvm64).

I would like to know what type is necessary to be set for AVX support?
Thank you.
 
CPU type "host" should always work and give the best performance as all features of your physical CPU can be used by the vCPUs. "host" is just not great if you got a cluster and want to migrate VMs between nodes of different architecures.
