How does ESXi share CPU resources?

Question

System administration

There is a self-assembly server with 4-core Xeon E3-1220 v6, 32Gb RAM. There is a task to put 2 Windows machines on it, each will have different software installed, which requires 2 cores / 8 gigs for normal operation, but at the same time, processor resources are used to the fullest very rarely, if ever. Plus a Linux machine, which also needs 2 cores / 8 gigs, will have a more intensive processor load, but not prohibitive. And additionally, you need to place 3-5 lightweight Linux virtual machines, each for its own task, but in any case, one core / 1 gig will be enough for them. With RAM, it seems, there are no questions - ESXi allows you to cut off as much as you need until it runs out, but it doesn’t work like that with processor cores - you can specify the use of 4 cores for almost every virtual machine, but I don’t quite understand - is it possible to do this and shove the unimpressed? Does the hypervisor somehow balance, distribute the load, or does another principle work here?

Write a lot. I suggest you read this text system-repair.net/2012/05/mexanizmy-pereraspredele...
I think the questions should disappear.

That's just the processor is as easy as shelling pears.
You can start 4 virtual machines on a 4-core machine and set each to 4 cores.
And you can do more.
And everything will be balanced.
With memory so it is impossible - will be swapped.
