??? note "Performance and Efficiency Cores"
The virtual CPU cores in Tart VMs do not differentiate between the high-performance and high-efficient cores
of the host CPU. Instead, Tart VMs automatically alternate between these types of cores depending on the workload
being executed within the virtual machines. As a result, both performance and energy-efficient cores of the host CPU
are treated equally in terms of licensing.
??? note "Host CPU Core usage"
The virtual CPU cores of Tart VMs are not tied to specific physical cores of the host CPU. Instead, for optimal performance
Tart VMs will automatically try to balance compute between all available cores of the host CPU. As a result,
all performance and energy-efficient cores of the host CPU are always counted towards the license usage.
