All -

I have been searching the oracle website to see how Oracle handles "hyperthreading" in their processor license, but no luck. I have a server with 2-quad core CPUs or 8 cores, it also has hyperthreading turned on so it appears there are 16 cores. When licensing the server, does oracle work off of the 8 cores or 16 cores? If anyone has a document or link it will be appreciated.

Thanks
