I am running an ESXi Vsphere Client Version 6.0.0 but with all the different documentation and changes I have trouble to understand my limitations.
From the official documentation I see that my limit for physical CPU should be unlimited but I can only give a VM up to 8 vCPU.
From other sources I read that I have a limit of 2 physical CPU in the free version.
I see that the memory limitation is gone, which I am happy about.
Is there any document or anything which gives me actual limitations? It seems that VMware is hiding it a bit 😉 , at least I coudln't use google efficently to gather the correct info here.
I am only interested in the Hardware limitations, not the limits for creating failovers etc.

Those two stats you mention are different; it's 8 virtualised CPUs per VM and 2 physical CPU sockets that they're talking about - not the same thing. BTW if you're going with the free version have a look at THIS great new ESXi add-in that gives you a vCenter-like interface into your host via a web client - it's really new and really useful :)
