Well, Jim was talking about running VMware. The point of virtualization is to
fully utilize hardware.I've never used Fusion for any serious virtualization
but I've got some dual 8 core machines in the office with 320GB of RAM each
that we do student systems on.
Its amazing that with 4 servers I can have each student build 5 separate
Windows Server 2016 installs, build a Windows Cluster and install our software.
For a 10 person class those 4 machines replace 50 individual boxes...

Are all those cores (and threads) really helpful?
In keeping an eye on what my four-core processor does with CentOS-5.11,
I don't see even four cores being used.
In looking at the new AMD Ryzen processors, I see 6-, 8-, 10-, and
16-core processors. Unless you have software designed to use all of
them (multi-threaded and multi-tasking), what use are they?
