Hi all ITers,
i am looking for a new intel platform hardware to play some vmware home labs at home.
currently, my home workstation hardware configurations are: intel Xeon E3-1230v3 with 32 GB DDR memory(non-ecc), because of motherboard limit, i can only run 32G memory, so i decide to upgrade my workstation.
my question is, i have checked intel desktop CPU specifications on intel website, and i found that the new intel i7 gen 9 CPUs are all non-hyperthreading supported, at the same time, because of budget, i don't want to purchase an i9 CPU, what i am concerning is about the non-hyperthreading feature.
in my home lab environment, i will run about 8~12 VMs, so the very non-hyperthreading will limit my lab environment buildup???
