i7-6800K cores recognized by unraid for VMs?

I'm about to upgrade my unraid system and I'm looking at the new 6-core intel i7-6800K... before I pull the trigger I just want to make sure that unraid will see and allow me to assign all 12 "cores" (given the multi-threading on that CPU) to various virtual machines?

 

Thank you!

Perfect, thanks for the quick reply!

 

Yes, your comment is well understood - I realize there are only 6 "real" cores to work with on this CPU and if I assign the two "threads" from the same core to different VMs and those VMs are running at the same time that is not ideal so I will definitely avoid that.  One full "real" core assigned to a single VMis the way to go... but with a CPU like this, for a VM I used to assign 4 NON-hyperthreaded cores, I can now probably get away with assigning only 2 hyperthreaded cores... gives a lot more flexibility and power to work with!
