All other things being equal, certainly the bare HW will win out.  I'd
like to also note that Xen provides a mechanism to dedicate a CPU core
to a virtual machine in a system appropriately equipped.  Might be
useful.

As to whether all critical sources of contention can be controlled
adequately to achieve an equivalent or sufficiently robust environment
for Asterisk -- I can't say authoritatively.  It's reasonable to think 
it might be possible.
