[SOLVED] Proper CPU to run host system and 10 VM's in Windows Pro using Hyper-V

[HotRod4444]

Is the Ryzen 9 3950X an appropriate CPU, with 64GB Ram (3200 GHZ), and M2 Storage, to run a desktop host work station (Windows 10 Pro) and 10 Additional VM's.

The desktop would have the full range of common software programs. But each VM would only have a separate Windows 10 Pro OS, Excel (or equivalent), Google Chrome and a Robotic Process Software Program.

Each VM would be designed to search google, retrieve information and place it in a spreadsheet. That's all forever and ever.

I plan to devote 32 GB Ram to the host system and 4 GB Ram for each VM.

Would this new build work? I like the high end desktop over a server due to the GHZ available in a high end desktop, which I need to run the sotware programs on my host system.

I plan to devote 32 GB Ram to the host system and 4 GB Ram for each VM.

That would say that 64GB is not sufficient for 10 VMs.

Assuming you meant 4GB of RAM for each VM and the remaining 24GB for the host, I don't see any issues here.

I meant to write 32 GB for the host and 4GB Ram for each of 8 VM's.

What resources does this require?
Is 4GB RAM enough?

The Robotic Process Software Program requires very little ram

Thank you for your thumbs up. I have heard some say that Hyper-V will run very slowly on a High End Desktop versus a Server CPU. Do you know if that information is correct?

Unfortunately, no. I've only used desktop CPUs with my test servers, but I didn't feel that my SQL/.Web servers were running slow.
