Hi Wolfgang

The new 9300 and 9400 appliances contain Intel's CPUs in hybrid architecture,
were some of the cores are power efficient (E cores) and some are performance cores (P cores).

Power efficient cores are designed to run non-critical tasks while the performance cores are designed for intensive workloads.
Also, each power efficient core support a single virtual core where each performance core support two.

So the number of virtual cores are based on the number of each power efficient cores and performance cores:

In 9300 appliances:
No. Performance cores: 6 (12 virtual)
No. Efficient cores:          4 (4 virtual)
Total cores:                     10 (16 virtual)

In 9400 appliances:
No. Performance cores: 6 (12 virtual)
No. Efficient cores:          8 (8 virtual)
Total cores:                     14 (20 virtual)

Hope it helps,
Dan.
