Hi I had the same problem with one HP ZBook Workstation with i7-11800H that was slower than a grand new HP ZBook with i7-13700H processor. The starting time for one of my heavy VMs was this: - i7-11800H (benchmark: 20,778): 45s - i7-13700H (benchmark: 28,239): 60s After some trials without result I have contacted VMWare Support (please note that I have a paid account) and we have found that the real problem is this: starting with 12th generation of i7 processor the architecture is based on: - E-Cores: Efficient Core: maximize the efficiency of the system - P-Cores: performance Core: maximize the performance of the system Windows 11, and I think 10, manage this by itself and this doesn't create performance drop in the Host: I have made some compare and the operations in the i7-13700H host were better than the 11800H; the problem was only in VMWare Worsktation. With the support team we have solved the problem in this simple way: - Lunch Windows 11 Power Shell "as Administrator" - Execute this command (it should be vary according the version and has to be checked): powercfg /powerthrottling disable /path "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\x64\vmware-vmx.exe" - Execute another time to be more sure that the system accept it. If everything is working fine you should not have any message - Restart the PC - Work normally with your VMs. In my case I have got this result: - i7-11800H (benchmark: 20,778): 45s - i7-13700H (benchmark: 28,239): 37s In general the improvement of the performance was impressive (60->37s)! I have this Configuration: Windows 11 Pro (22H2) VMWare Workstation v7.5
