It varies by platform. I believe Kevin is right with the factor .5 for intel (AMD ?) cores. .75 is the factor for IBM's p5 cores. Of course, always rounded up to the next integer.

Isn't that 0.75/core?  Unless it's changed in the past few months...

heavens no. You can utilize all the processor bandwidth you'd like without
paying a license fee!  :-)
I don't know how it is with other platforms, but with Intel it is .5 per core rounded 
up. So a 1 Sock/2 Core is 2 X .5 or 1 license.

Hi..
Are 2 oracle processor licenses needed to utilize the functionality of dual core processor?
