You're curious about how a virtual machine would perform with an 8-core processor paired with your quad-core i5. That sounds like pushing beyond typical expectations, but let's break it down. The idea is to see if the system can handle more parallel tasks, which might improve performance in certain workloads. However, it's important to note that real-world results depend on many factors like software, workload type, and system configuration. It’s not a direct violation of physics—it’s just a test of hardware limits!

Why not just use VirtualBox? Wouldn’t that suggest it’s nearly 100% effective?

I checked the expected cost and found a way to configure it with 8 virtual cores. It seems Cinebench evaluates performance using single-thread results and then scales them based on the number of cores available.
