VM configuration formula related to Socket and Cores

I need to have a better understanding as to how best to configure VMs.

Need to specifically understand  how Number of VIrtual Sockets and Number of Cores per Socket needs to be configured? - What are the things I need to consider. (e.g. ESXi configuration)

Is there some sort of formula or specific guideline, I can follow.

Great Links. Thanks.
I am not too sure if you want me to open another question, but this is the issue:

We have a machine which has  Win Server 2012 64  which is very slow.

VM Ver 8
CPU: Number of Virtual Socket=4 and Number of Cores per socket = 1. Therefore, Total Number of Cores is 4

Memory 8192 MB
Running  VMTools Out of date (unable to install latest since we have vCenter 6.x)
How could this be fixed.

Best to post a new question, on the issue of a slow VM.
