I used these to learn ESXi and hypervisors in general. These were rebranded supermicro servers with single CPU's to be used as backup servers however, I was running 3 VMs (Windows server 2022, Redhat Linux, Open Media Vault NAS) on each server all under load with no issues. This CPU can also fully saturate a 1GB Link. I did not test the 10GB NICs but they did read and pass through into ESXi.
