Note: Running virtual machines with 32 vCPUs requires that your host and guest operating systems both support 32 logical processors. The virtual machines virtual XHCI controller is changed from USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 to support 10 Gbps.

Virtual machine security is enhanced by removing graphics render from vmx and running it as a separate sandbox process. Note: Linux host operating system with a recent Intel/Vulkan driver is needed, Mesa 20.1 or later is recommended. Workstation 16 Player enables 3D support for Intel GPUs on Linux hosts to deliver DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 to VMs using Vulkan Renderer.

Vulkan Render Support for Linux Workstation Player.

GNU/Linux with NVIDIA drivers that support OpenGL 4.5 and above.

For Linux hosts, latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers are required.For Windows hosts, a native GPU that supports DirectX 11.0 is required.Support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 in the Guest.Supports KIND kubernetes clusters running on top of Workstation Player.Build/run/pull/push container images using the vctl CLI.The following systems are also supported: Systems using Intel processors based on the 2010 Westmere micro-architecture. For example, code-named Hondo, Ontario, Zacate, and Llano. Systems using AMD processors based on the Llano and Bobcat micro-architectures.

Systems using Intel Atom processors based on the 2012 Saltwell micro-architecture.For example, Atom Z670/Z650 and Atom N570. Intel Atom processors based on the 2011 Bonnell micro-architecture.Systems using Processors (CPUs) launched in 2011 or later are supported, except for the following: VMware Workstation Player provides a simple user interface, unmatched operating system support, and portability across the VMware ecosystem.įor more information, see the broader VMware Workstation Player documentation. VMware Workstation Player™ is a streamlined desktop virtualization application that runs another operating system on the same computer without rebooting.
