Also remember that Oracle works only with cpu cores when dealing with 
enterprise edition.
With standard edition you need to look at the socket (or chip to be exact, 
although I have never known Oracle to really look at the number of chips).

So a server with a quad core cpu only needs 1 standard edition cpu license.

Remember that the core multiplier is not always ".5".  It depends on the
CPU
architecture (and model!):
