It really does get clearer than that, because I don't think it's talking about cores. None of the common Intel processors are MCM. They did make a massive 56 core Xeon by gluing two dies together and that would count.

- blinkingled 6y agoRead the PDF link again. There is multicore for all except products with standard in the name with the exception of Java subscription.
- reitzensteinm 6y agoRight, it's pretty clear elsewhere that it's per core. But the section you quoted doesn't clarify anything, it's actually contradictory and bizarre that it's present.
- blinkingled 6y agoWhat I quoted does clarify (although in a convoluted way) that it is multi-core.
- reitzensteinm 6y agoOnly if Oracle is allowed to redefine the industry standard meaning of MCM. Read literally it does not imply per core pricing, in fact quite the opposite. An 8 core Zen would count as 1. An 8 core Zen 2 would count as 2. A 2 core Pentium D would count as 2, but Core 2 Duo would count as 1 and a Core 2 Quad as 2. A 64 core EPYC would count as 9.
