When it comes to VMware, more CPUs is always better. This gives you more cores to work with.

They will want at least two physical CPUs so that if one CPU becomes bogged down, the host can use the other CPU to continue to run the system.

I have a dual-core system and recently enabled both processors for VMware to use and it does make a big difference.
