Hyper-V and Processor architecture?

Morning All,

We currently have a single Hyper-V host and I want to add redundancy by adding a second host and replication.

However, the current host is a little over a year old and the processor (E5-2690v3) is no longer the current model, the v4 being out now. I was looking at using a E5-2640v3 (8 cores instead of 12 but the same architecture - it will be running a couple of VMs normally with some spare capacity to run other services in an emergency) but vendors are telling me to use a E5-2620v4 8 core instead.

Hyper-V works best when you use the processors fully, but for compatibility between different devices and replication, you can disable some features - would I need to do this between a v3 and v4?

thanks :)
