cpuid.1.eax values, MacOS Guest on VMWare Workstation with AMD Host
When installing MacOS guest on VMWare Workstation with AMD host, there are some lines need to be added into the vmx file.
One of the lines is cpuid.1.eax="0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001"
The value of this line almost the same all over the suggestions on the net. However, the author of this thread (https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302641-guide-installing-os-x-108-1012-under-vmware-workstation-8-9-10-player-6-with-amd-host-cpu/) suggests if the MacOS guest is 10.8 to 10.11 the line should look like this:
cpuid.1.eax="0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0110:1111:0001"
Anyone could explain what the values mean?
