I think correct answer is B (24 cores). There are two approaches to get there: 1) Consider the total vCores = 2*90 = 180 vcores. With an 8:1 CPU overcommit ratio, this gets down to 180/8 = 22.5 pcores, so 24 pcores is the closest answer matching this capacity. 2) If we use the magic number 5, total number of VMs = 90 / 5 = 18 pcores. Again 24 pcores is the closest to this capacity.

Selected Answer: B
Most of the users here voted B. C isn't correct because we have an overcommit ratio given so magic numbers don't apply. B is correct!

B - 24 has to be the answer because it scales the closest to 90 VMs per host. "take the number of physical cores in a server, multiply it by 5 or 10, and the result will be your SSS" https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/tech-zone/design/design-decisions/single-server-scalability.html Can't be C or D because you would get WAY more than 90 VMs per host. Can't be E because you don't get enough VMs per host.

wait..., this is the famous 5 or 10 rule or magic numbers.... 5 if it's VDI and 10 if it's XA) https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/tech-zone/design/design-decisions/single-server-scalability.html#the-magic-multipliers So..., if we apply this..., 90x2=180/5=36.., so... it's D if we based in the magic numbers.., the answer say E (16) because in a old question this was 40 VDIs .. i think is a old answer in a new question... this is the problem...

It says 1 user/VM, so clearly its a VDI (desktop OS) and magic number 5 should apply here. 90 X 2 / 5 = 36

I think B 2*90 = 180 180/8 = 22,5 -> 24 cores

You are right, it seems like they forgot they need 2vcpu per each VDI....
