I was planning to divide my Ryzen 5 3600X and wanted a virtual machine for my brother. The idea was to split its six cores and twelve threads so each gets three cores and three threads. Would that be feasible, or would I need a different processor like the Ryzen 5 3900X to ensure both have enough independent cores?

Yes, it can be tricky. The latest Linus x-gamer-one-cpu video highlighted that combining AMD with virtualization isn't always straightforward.

You need to choose Intel chips instead of AMD since it's challenging, and I think you're less experienced than LINUS, who consistently handles this kind of situation.

The games themselves are irrelevant; it's the CPU and virtualization that truly count on AMD chips, which is quite challenging
