SHA instruction set extension not passed through (was: VirtualBox detects wrong CPU type) => fixed in SVN/next major 7.x release

Description

I'm using VirtualBox 7.0.10 on a new Dell laptop (Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i9 13950HX). The guest OS is Arch Linux.

In the VM I wanted to use the SHA instructions, but that flag wasn't in "/proc/cpuinfo". From the VBox.log, VirtualBox finds that the processor matches "Intel_Atom_Unknown".

The VM runs fine otherwise.

SHA instruction passthrough will be available in the next major release of VirtualBox, this won't be backported for 7.0.x I'm afraid. You could try out the development snapshots from here but be aware that they can be quite unstable due to the development status.
