The ITSM/CMDB is very bulky and there are lot of sub processes like reconciliation,normalization, aie, fts etc... I would suggest you follow BMCs hardware requirement to have better performance in your production env.
The last time I spoke to our SA he told me that in a Virtual machine a CPU cannot be compared to physical CPU on one to one basis. In VM ESX basically the SA will create a number of logical partitions from one physical CPU. For example if the physical server has X cpus the SAs can logically make them as 2X or 3X or nX virtual CPUs shared accross number of VMs carved out from that physical server. So only your SA can provide proper guidance on how good is your virtual CPU depending on how he sized the VMs when he created those. The good thing is even if you start with one and since there are VMs you can easily add another cpu if you see bottleneck.
