So with 8 T5 CPUs I have 128 Cores x 0.5 = 64 CPU Oracle Database licenses?

Good that you can setup cpu-capped zones

Hello.
What about core factor fo M10 processor?

You find it in the same table

#2.1 Joerg M. (Homepage) on 2013-03-28 14:41

are there any benchmarks comparing m5 and m10 available?

The same license factor for physical M5 cores and virtual T5 threads? Oracle really wants customers to buy their Exa packages instead of setting up their own DB servers...
Or did I miss a memo and the licenses now look for the physical cores on the T series as well?

I don't know where you get the info with the virtual T5 threads, but on all T-classes you are counting physical cores and multiply them with the core factor. It was always this way.
