We just went through a licensing analysis for the T1000 and the
Multicore processors,.. in the Oracle licensing document it states that
for Intel Multi-Core system the algorithm is the number of cores * .25
for the processor license. For IBM and/or HP (I might be off a little
here cause we didn't dive into the HP and IBM processors) but I believe
it stated the #processors * .5.
For SUN Multicore processors the algorithm was the #cores * .75 so for
8 cores the license would be the same as it is for 6 processors

RE: Going multicore, Sun Fire T2000 (8 cores)
From an Oracle licensing perspective, 8 cores in
the niagra processor count as one processor for Oracle licenseing
purposes.
Thanks,

MessageCan you elaborate on "use all those cores simultaneously"? Would
a
parallel query not use all the cores, or heavy concurrent access by
users?
Imagine the licensing cost if you had two or three of these in a rac?
