I’m considering buying an Intel Core i7-4790, which has 4 cores and 8 threads.

With a 4 core, 8 thread CPU you should see 8 CPU available in the green slider area; see picture below. I set the slider to one per virtual machine. Afterwards I try to run 8 virtual machines at the same time.

Does this mean each virtual machine will use one thread or will each virtual machine use a full core?

Please have a look at this picture for reference:

Each CPU from this screenshot is physically a thread and for the guest OS it is presented as a virtual core (a single-threaded core, not an HT core).
