In addition to any CPU required by VMs, the storage subsystem can consume a large amount of CPU power, as can other daemons on the system. Recent CPU vulnerabilities and their mitigations have also severely affected performance, and thus this should be considered carefully. -### Vendor +### Vendor & Architecture -PVC will work equally well on (modern, see below) Intel- and AMD-based CPUs.

Which you select depends primarily on availability, workload, and which, if any, additional CPU feature(s) complement it. The author has used both extensively to good results. ### Era/Generation
