Is any of this confirmed/acknowledged/Kbed by vmware? Alder lake has been out for quite a while now, how is it possible they don't have anything to say about it?
I'm trying to decide between win10 and win11 host. Would prefer win10, unless win11 is less broken with respect to this.
Is my understanding from this thread correct that by default, vms on a win10 (21H2) host it will only use e-cores? Does this depend on the number of cores allocated to the vm? And the only workaround is to specify affinity to only p-cores (ProcessorN.use).
Is it the same on win11?
To me the ideal would seem to be the ability to allocate p and e cores separately to VMs via the workstation UI. Then the guest OS that supports this, would know that it has X p-cores and Y e-cores and would use its own scheduling.
What is the alternative? If the guest is core-blind, will the host have enough info to decide where to run a guest thread?
