Last I saw MS SQL licensing among others like it have a pricing structure per CPU core... That’s going to need to be modified I think!

    Oracle says "Looks like our profits will double each time AMD doubles the core count of their flagship chip."

      Larry Ellison needs a bigger yacht, time to re-up your Oracle per core licensing agreement.

  Doubt they will go away from per core pricing. Most SQL servers are VMs so you can assign as many cores as you want. I do expect them to give bulk pricing for more cores. So 4 core=$x, 16cores=$3x, 64cores=$10x.
