Does enabling hardware x86 virtualization (AMD-V or Intel VT-x) slow down my computer?

Obviously, it improves the performance if I'm running virtual machines, but what if I'm not running any VMs?

Best Answer

No it will not. Most of the recent processors are coming with VT facility and its enabled by default.
