huh, really? never heard of that, where is that information from?

from what i know, clustering is about cpu features, not speed, see
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/545610

What vmware does is EVC ( https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003212 ) ,
that way you can mask what cpu features/instructions should be used
within the cluster.

my proxmox knowledge is limited, but from what i can see you set what
cpu features being used at VM level (hardware ->processors ->type)
