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

        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?
