Re: Check my understanding of Oracle licensing

I am not sure about licensing,,, but if the above is correct... then it has to be this.

probably when intel introduced with the concept of hyperthreading back in Pentium4 days , where a CPU Core handled 2 threads at once... Even though there was only one physical CPU Core, OS saw it as 2 CPUs, in order to consider that that they must have factored the cost as cpu cores * .5 to charge only for the physical cores... and slowly along the way, this was misinterpreted and Oracle started loosing money?

Thanks,
Vishnu
