I have done some benchmarking with my i5-8400. I run some scripts on the guest machines, and simultaneously run tests on host machine.
And test results are crystal clear, increasing the cores for guest machine in virtual box instantly decreases host CPU performance.
Results on App Timer:
Host 1 core + guest 5 cores = Host running very slow
Host 4 cores + guest 2 cores = Host running near normal speed
Now the cores obviously make tons of difference, but what about threads?
Would a 6/12 i7-8700k outperform my 6/6 ?
Or do I need to go thread ripper with maybe 12 cores or more?
