I would think that Intel would be the way to go for it.

 

VM's aren't generally multi-core optimized so the IPC of the Intel would reign supreme

or you could allocate different cores to each VM

i.e. 1-2 for main system, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 for other VMs

Error: 410

4670, Intel VT-D is great for running VMs.
