It is best to specify also your host CPU model.

Virtualised interrupt delivery and posted process interrupts are features that are available in Xeon processors but not in Intel desktop or mobile CPUs. So these features might affect what you see in your experiments.

You can check the vmware.log

Process posted interrupts (from Ivy Bridge and newer) and virtual-interrupt delivery (Haswell and newer). A value of {0} means it is not available on the CPU. {0,1} would be mean it is.
