Rumors are there are discounts for big volumes of licences ;)
And check also SE and SEO editions. Oracle doesn't have only EE
edition. Of course there might be functionality and/or CPU issues and
as a result you have to stick with EE. And remember that SE also
includes RAC for free (however the CPU limit is per cluster and with
Oracle clusterware only).
However read how processors, cores, sockets and all other stuff is defined.
There are also such things like annual licences...
