VMWare hardware

Just running a test http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/514767 some of the parts look quite old. Is this what the actual Hostnode has ( As in the processor and RAM) or are they just there for the sake ( Such as KVM's QEMU CPU)

  • Intel Corporation 440BX

    Is the standard chipset that VMware emulates, always has been like that. The EDO ram is funny btw.

    Also, there are standard network cards that VMware emulates, and so...

  • So its not the actual hardware of the actual host? what about the cpu is that just emulated?

  • I don't know about the intrinsecs of vmware. The cpu is "directly" passed to the guest, so you can see it and use the same instructions (and have the same performance).

  • @DanielM VMWare will emulate the cpu type to allow live migration between hosts with different cpu's.
