with recent release of the T3 processor/system:

so does anyone know how oracle is going to license the new T3 processor for
its oracle database server? in T2 it was 0.75/core, so each socket uses 6
oracle license;

With T3 not adding more threads to each core, and each socket with 16 cores,
each socket is going to use 12 oracle license then?

Also in the very early days the tech specification from external (even wiki)
was each core of the T3 processor is going to be 16 threads (instead of the
current 8 threads, which is same as T2);  Was oracle afraid of charging each
core 1.5 license:)?
