Hi everyone,
I have an ESXi with Intel Xeon Gold 6354 CPU 3.00Ghz and I tried to run it with a fully charged VM with OCCT (16 vCPU/128GB RAM), but strangely it can consume up to 52,4Ghz.
I don't know why because theoretically it could only consume 48 Ghz.
Does anyone know why ?
Update:
I've found the reason why the VM can consume up to 52,4 Ghz.
Indeed the ESXi has a Turbo Mode that allows 3,60 Ghz per core, and I think the vCenter can manage this Turbo Mode with a specific parameter, because when I run 4 VMs fully charged my frequency can grow up to 135Ghz and I found in VMware docs that vSphere could go up to 125% per core.
