Isn't that "2" CPUs for an 8-core? Or did the licensing change yet again? It was recently .25xCore for SPARC 8-ways.

	From an Oracle licensing perspective, 8 cores in the niagra

processor count as one processor for Oracle licenseing purposes.         

	Thanks,

	MessageCan you elaborate on "use all those cores
simultaneously"? Would a
	parallel query not use all the cores, or heavy concurrent access
by users?
	Imagine the licensing cost if you had two or three of these in a
rac?
