DEF

A processor which represents the ratio of processor time allocated to a virtual machine on a logical processor.

CONT

There is no direct correlation between virtual processors and logical processors. For instance, if a server is equipped with 12 logical processors then you are not limited to assigning 12 virtual processors. In other words, a virtual processor is not a direct representation of a physical [central processing unit] core.
