[libvirt-users] Amount CPU's

[Dominique Ramaekers]

Quick question.


In my host, I've got two processors with each 6 cores and each core has two threads.


I use iometer to do some testings on hard drive performance.


I get the idea that using more cores give me better results in iometer. (if it will improve the speed of my guest is an other question...)


For a Windows 2012 R2 server guest, can I just give the guest 24 cores? Just to make shure the os has all the possibilities to run as quickly as possible?


Thanks in advance.


Dominique.
