The VM GUI editor is hard coded to set the thread count to 1 if it detects an AMD processor in libvirt.php

// detect if the processor is AMD, and if so, force single threaded
$strCPUInfo = file_get_contents('/proc/cpuinfo');
if (strpos($strCPUInfo, 'AuthenticAMD') !== false) {
	$intCPUThreadsPerCore = 1;
}

This was due to AMD reporting no support for hyperthreadding in a VM. With UNRAID 6.8.1 RC1, hyperthreadding is supported with CPU passthrough as is (and CPU cache) if the CPU feature topoext is enabled. Previously, the CPU had to be forced to report as an EPYC to get it to support hyperthreadding.

<cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'>
  <topology sockets='1' cores='6' threads='2'/>
  <cache mode='passthrough'/>
  <feature policy='require' name='topoext'/>
</cpu>

Microsoft's CoreInfo returns

Logical to Physical Processor Map:
**----------  Physical Processor 0 (Hyperthreaded)
--**--------  Physical Processor 1 (Hyperthreaded)
----**------  Physical Processor 2 (Hyperthreaded)
------**----  Physical Processor 3 (Hyperthreaded)
--------**--  Physical Processor 4 (Hyperthreaded)
----------**  Physical Processor 5 (Hyperthreaded)

Note that changes to the CPU layout may not be detected in the VM until the VM is rebooted from inside the VM itself (for example: Start > Power > Restart)

 

Prior to 6.8.1 RC1, I could not get CPU-Z to run, it would always hang at the 10%/Processors on load. It still takes a bit but does return now.

@limetech Please consider this

I'll throw my hat in here too.

Yuuuup

This is under consideration, expect a change in future release.
