How is AMD Ryzen with virtualization?

[PacketMan]

I should have asked this earlier; how is Ryzen with virtualization? And by that I mean the various VM technologies available including but not limited to bhyve, virtualbox, etc.

Any limitations I should be aware of?

I have heard of issues with PCIe passthrough (

). Not sure if that's relevant to you.

Never tried bhyve on my Ryzen desktop, but vbox is running very well. No complaints. So far I haven't run into any issues, just plenty of cores to get the work done

May I ask what flavor of Ryzen you have?

I have the Ryzen 1600 on an MSI B350M motherboard. It's been serving me well.

Wondering if you got any new info. I have Ryzen 1700 on x370. I am trying to install Windows Server 2012r2 in bhyve. It crashed during install (at various points) with:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Wdf01000.sys

0x00000000000000B8
0x0000000000000002
0x0000000000000000
0xFFFFF8000020170A

Do you know of any good tutorials on installing Windows in bhyve?
