Number of Virtual sockets vs. Number of cores per socket confusion?
Hi People,
Suppose I need a compute power of 8x vCPU for my server, which number should I select?
Virtual Sockets: 8
Cores per socket: 1
Or
Virtual Sockets: 1
Cores per socket: 8
Or
Virtual Sockets: 2
Cores per socket: 4
Or
Virtual Sockets: 4
Cores per socket: 2
Which one is good over the other ?

my ESXi host is Xeon E5-2670
CPU sockets: 2
Cores per socket: 8
Logical Processor: 2x8x 2 (HT enabled) = 32
so I guess in this case the maximum vCPU that I can assign without causing NUMA problem for the future Exchange & SQL Server is:
Virtual Sockets: 4
Cores per socket: 8
is that correct ?
