Gotta be in it to win it
It's been about two months with my new core i9-10900K build and I've been noticing that performance using virtual machines seems better than the native desktop for the computer this build replaced. So I had an idea to run Cinebench in a Windows 10 VM.

So from a tip from @pshufd I created a windows media creation disc and created a windows 10 virtual machine for the purpose of running Cinebench. Memory is 16GB and I varied the cores from 4 to 16 while playing around with the options for the virtualization engine. Other than update Windows 10 with the latest patches, nothing else was done, other than to install Cinebench from the Microsoft store.

Results are below.

No secret that Cinebench is core/thread bound, but I was surprised to get as good results as shown below.

Anyone care to do the same, please post their scores running in a Windows 10 VM from any virtualization tool.
