If we're talking the T1 8-core Sun processor, it's 0.25, meaning one of them costs 2xCPU price. I still don't know why. It's either a very slow 8-way or Oracle is trying to help Sun from going down.

There could be cases, though, where having many slow cores would be more interesting than few fast cores - right, Cary? Cary?!?

Isn't that "2" CPUs for an 8-core? Or did the licensing change yet again? It was recently .25xCore for SPARC 8-ways.
