For it/security related homelabs, do you often use many vms with little workloads or a few vms with heavy workloads. I’m currently trying to pick between a i5-8700 and i7-9700 cpu for a new homelab setup. Thank you.

My home lab attempts to duplicate much of what I use and support at work. As such, I have many VMs, each with a particular purpose or running a particular piece of software. So, for me, it’s a combination of more cores and decent speed of each. However, in virtualization, it’s common to run out of RAM in a host before you run out of processing power.
