3950x VMware

I run VM's on my 3950x on a daily basis and have done so since since Christmas. Not only is it not an issue, but it takes it in it's stride and allows me to do anything else at the same time.
 
The only issue I've found with VMWare is it doesn't support enough cores per VM to fully utilise a Threadripper CPU. :p TBF, you'd only want to give a single VM a few cores at most anyway. My point being, no real issues here.
 
I run VMware Workstation (on my Desktop PC) with a 3600X and 32GB RAM.
I normally allocate each VM with 4GB of RAM and 1 processor/1 core and I can quite happily run two at the same time.

Was only really a problem with esxi on first gen threadrippers. I had a whole thread battling with it. Nowdays it is properly solid.
