Which of the following processors are compatible for EVC?

For vMotion to work properly after enabling the EVC mode, the following requirements must be met: Processors of all ESXi hosts must be Intel only or AMD only. Processor virtualization features such as Intel VT-x or AMD-V must be enabled in UEFI/BIOS of ESXi hosts. ESXi hosts must be managed by the same vCenter Server.
