If you look at 11g, it actually has some logic that can distinguish
between sockets and cores- Not sure where I saw it but I clearly
remember it. Perhaps it was Cluster Verification Utility, in which case
the installer is also aware of it.

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!):
