Issue/Introduction
Starting with VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.1.0, Intel(c) Hyper-Threading Technology is disabled in Bare Metal Edge Transport Node. Customers can observe the number of CPUs or cores in a variety of ways, for example, from NSX-T UI monitoring, the edge CLI, or in data collected in support bundles.
Customers may notice this change and be concerned that this may lead to lower performance of the BM Edge. However, this is not the case. The edge datapath is not affected by this, as the number of cores used for fast path packet processing remains the same. At the same time, processing power is sufficient for all other services.

Resolution
This is by design.
Prior to version NSX-T Data Center 3.1, Hyper-Threading could be enabled on an Edge Transport Node. After upgrade form an earlier version, customers may notice a lower number of CPU Cores when monitoring an Edge Transport Node.
