the leader in virtualization atm is vmware with its e.g. esx server, which is basically a slimmed down unix/linux os. now, after a esx server is set up you can connect to it through a client (e.g. virtual infrastructure client) and create new virtual machines on one physical machine. these virtual machines (vm) share the same physical hardware, but the esx server (respectively the virtualization software) divides the physical resources into every vm.

i hope this explanation helps. i'm not a native english speaker as well, so it's always hard to explain something
Wow, actually that was the trigger. Now I think I understand what this is all about. So, then can someone now explain this:

If Intel processors burn AMD in most benchmarking programs, how is it that AMD is better at 'splitting up it's resources' when using virtualizations??
