I had a question regarding the actual CPU type and speed of virtual machines. My physical host server has two processors which are 3.07GHz and 24 core total. In SCVMM I can assign multiple cores and multiple different CPU types. I understand adding more processors will increase the performance of the VM but does assigning a faster CPU type actually make the VM faster or if I assign it one CPU than the speed of the CPU is really the speed of the core on the physical server. If this is the case what is the purpose for having so many different CPU Type options? Hope that makes sense. Thanks
