This is weird, I have a MacBook Pro with the Intel Core i7-4870HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz, It's not listed on the Intel VPro page linked above, but its specs here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/83504/intel-core-i74870hq-processor-6m-cache-up...
...say:
Intel vPro® Eligibility = Intel vPro® Platform
Intel® AES New Instructions = Yes
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology = Yes
Execute Disable Bit = Yes
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) = Yes
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) =Yes
Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) = Yes
...and the nested hypervisor feature on this machine used to work quite well. Since Fusion 11 or 12, it's been so slow as to be unusable.
I've submitted a bug to Apple, using my dev account, to suggest that their hypervisor may not be properly recognizing the capabilities of certain Intel CPUs. Not, that now they probably care much. Perhaps, if you folks at VMWare contact them, they'd care slightly...but probably not much...more.
