How many virtual CPUs (vCPUs) can a VM run in vSphere 7.x?

In vSphere 7.x, the maximum number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) that can be assigned to a virtual machine (VM) is indeed 128. This increase allows for significantly larger workload capabilities as compared to previous versions, making it particularly beneficial for demanding applications that require higher processing power.

The increased limit supports better performance and scalability for various workloads, allowing organizations to optimize their resource allocation in virtual environments. This capability is especially useful for enterprise environments, where applications can demand substantial CPU resources for processing tasks and ensuring high availability and performance.

Understanding this limit is crucial for administrators when planning and provisioning resources for virtual machines in a vSphere environment.
