Hi Mohamed,
I understand its advantage as better possibility to schedule provided 
CPU time between the processes within the VM. Of course your VM will not 
be able to use more than 100% of one physical CPU, but should be able to 
run another process once one will block the first vCPU (and only in case 
the VM will still have enough credits on hypervisor - if credit 
scheduler is used). It's good to have more vCPUs on webhosting for 
example and on all systems where do you expect parallel data processing 
(webservers, databases, virtual desktop, ...).
This is my understanding. <correct me if I'm wrong>

Best regards,
