Thanks for the detailed response Abhilash.

To be honest, I'm not sure I fully understand. 

If I have an ESX host with 48 physical cores and hyperthreading is enabled, I have 96 logical processors and can configure a VM with up to 96 vCPU.

My question is, if I configure a VM with 48 vCPU to match 48 physical cores, am I consuming half of the physical cores or all of them? I can technically max out the VM at 96 vCPU.

From what I understand, with Hyperthreading enabled, vCPU is a logical thread, not a physical one.

Please let me know what I'm missing.

Thanks.
