Not so long time ago we got new server with 2 sokets Intel Xeon Gold 6252 (2.1Ghz, 24 cores, 48 threads) on S2600WF.

When we setup ESXi 6.7U2 U3, it recognize our server like 4 sokets by 12 cores per soket, and it dosen`t matter is the hypertridding on or off. If disable one core, it recognise like 2 sokets with 23 cores per soket. So we get 46 cores, it dosen`t matter is the hypertridding on or off. ESXi starts but, doesn't work properly.

When we setup ESXi 7U1, it even doesn`t recognize processors on installing stage. We have Purple Screen of Death with error "HW feature incompatibility detected: cannot start" (attached below). It seem like ESXi doesn't support Xeon Gold 6252, but compatibility guide says that it is supporting Xeon Gold 6200 family.

We have no problems with Xeon Gold 6138 on same S2600WF, bought earlier.

I tried to modify boot.cfg like below, but no result:

We have ESXi 6.7 license.

Firmware on S2600WF set on latest.

Please help if you can!
