Currently, I rather assume that the problem lies with VMware Workstation. This problem must be with either VMware or the AMD virtualization technology. Meanwhile, the host CPU load is only at about 10 to 15 %. Once they've booted up, that's no longer the case. Switching between the screen/console of these VMs also takes almost a second while they're booting. I only use Samsung NVMe disks (Pro series) and this slow performance is only due to the VMs that are booting in the background. It takes another second until the disks and my folders are shown.

When I start 4 VMs with 8 CPU cores per VM in parallel (Windows Server 2019 Guest OS on all of them), even opening the Windows Explorer on the host system takes 1-2 seconds. However, among other things, since I have many Linux VMs, I do not want to switch to Hyper-V. This makes Hyper-V 6 to 8 times faster than VMware Workstation. Exactly the same VM (converted from VMware Workstation to Hyper-V) takes 20 seconds to boot with 8 CPU cores and 16 GB RAM on VMware Workstation, compared to only 2.5 to 3 seconds with Hyper-V. I'm aware that Hyper-V technically is a type 1 hypervisor, but the difference should not be that extreme. Even if I start 5 or 10 virtual machines in parallel on Hyper-V, they all boot up in less than 5 seconds. Regardless of this, Hyper-V is much faster. But you don't buy a CPU with 24 cores and 48 threads for a decent amount of money just to assign only 4 to 8 cores to the virtual machines in total. With 8 cores per VM it even takes several minutes until all VMs are booted and the host system is slow during this time. If I start 4 VMs with only 2 cores each, they boot much faster (20 to 30 seconds) than if each VM has 4 cores (at least one minute). I can confirm that it is definitely related to the assigned CPU cores. I hope that there is a fix for this problem soon.Д¬an you possibly run some own tests with this processor? After all, it's a CPU that I think is used a lot and this would be very helpful. Anyway, I was very disappointed when I switched from an Intel Core i7 8700k to the Threadripper 3960X because I didn't have these problems with the significantly cheaper and less powerful i7.

Maybe most of them may not even have any comparison between VMware Workstation and other software or other CPUs, I don't know. Probably everyone with Threadripper 3960X, but I guess most of them don't contact VMware or post something in the forum. I can't imagine that there aren't significantly more people who have the problem. But for various reasons I have to use VMware Workstation and would like to continue doing so. As I said (and gonace too): With Hyper-V and other solutions there are no problems. That such a problem occurs is really annoying.

I upgraded to the Threadripper with 128 GB of RAM (256 GB was originally planned) because I wanted to run many virtual machines in parallel.

I've also tested it with a fresh Windows 10 installation and the problem was and is still present.

I've never installed any game on my computer as it is a workstation system.
