Maybe there can be a typo, and a "0" is missing?

I'll check with relevant owners.

If you look at the sizing guide in https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk178325 seems Smart-1 600-S Appliance that normally has 6 core with 16/32GB can handel 70000 logs per second:

But I have to size a VM unfortunately.

The general guidance in this case is to figure out the matching Smart-1 appliance that fits and use those hardware specs as a starting point for your VM.

Ok,

For eg.: I have 10.000 logs per sec, and I want SmartEvent on Smartcenter where the VM is common.

I this case what are the suggested resource?

Again, see what Smart-1 appliance matches the specifications.
For 10k logs per second, this would be the 600-M in a "Max" configuration.
That suggests 64GB of RAM and at least 6 cores should be allocated for the VM...at least as a starting point.
