Oracle has already weighed in on the subject. A cpu =3D a core. I've a
feeling this will come back to bite them. BTW: In a different thread
others on the list have complained about Oracle "missing opportunities
that others have taken" namely MySql, FireBird, Sql*Server etc... Well
I agree Uncle Larry seems more interested in the big dollar items
leaving the small fry to other vendors. Problem is that there are only
so many whales in the sea & a LOT more small fry.

Subject: "Dual-Core" CPUs & the future of software licensing
Not just and Oracle Licensing issue...this effects many vendors.
>>"Multicore chips place two or more CPUs on a single piece of
silicon..."
I'm not a huge hardware guy, but on the Enterprise side of things...I
have worked with Oracle/IBM at three clients now.
If I'm not mistaken hasn't IBM but doing the "more than two cores on the
die" for a while now!?...Far as I know, NO software vendor has made
stink about IBM "Dual-Core" processors?
Your thoughts?
