Minimum is 3 cores for managed, so 3 cores should run a 64 player fine.

We won't know its multithreading capabilities until some time into beta where NFO can evaluate usage.
Yeah... sounds good. Will likely start with 4 core as we're planning on launching with 2 64's and a 32. Thanks.
Keep in mind VDS overhead may reduce the peak performance for the vds. I think you would need to be on a 1270v3 to run 64 slot servers on a virtual machine.

Personally, I had a 4 core vds and my 64 slot CQ Large BF3 server would have noticeable lag at 64 players on an E5-2690.

That' good to know. Yeah we had 4 64's and 1 32 on E3-1270 machine and was super smooth most always. Lots of traffic as well as we hosted the #1 BF3 AK server in the world for several weeks. Tim if your reading this are you on VPS now?
