I just posted the new maximum specs for Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate VMs.  Now for the host:

• 320 physical Logical Processors
• 4 TB RAM

That’s 320 cores with no Hyperthreading or 160 Cores with hyperthreading turned on.  That’s 10 * 16 core processors with hyperthreading.  Feck!

And that’s 128 * 32 GB DIMMs!!! Damn, I bet there’s a lot of skidmarks in VMware marketing right now.

Wish I was there.
