An administrator is creating a virtual machine that will be running "Windows 2008 Enterprise (64-bit). The application to installed in the virtual machine requires eight vCPUs to run effectively. During installation, the only available options are one, two, three, or four vCPUs.
What condition explains the available vCPU selections?
A.
The virtual machine hardware version is 8.
B.
The guest operating system for the virtual machine is 64-bit
C.
The ESXi host has two AMD dual-core CPUs
D.
The ESXi host has two Intel dual-core CPUs
In my opinion the correct answer should be “D”. I don’t know of any AMD dual core process which is compatible with VMWare HCL.

Zee, the answer is perfect since Intel processors are powered with Hyperthreading which will provide the virtual machine with 8 vCpus since the processor presents 8 logical cores

The answer is C
The question mentions a vCPU slection where only 1, 2, 3 or four cpu’s can be selected.
On an Intel platform you can’t select 3 vCPU’s which can be on an AMD platform.
So it has to be an AMD platform.
