> “Processor: shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors) and by your third party users. The number of required licenses shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores of the processor by a core processor licensing factor specified on the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table which can be accessed at http://oracle.com/contracts http://oracle.com/contracts. All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate core processor licensing factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number.”

x86 has a 0.5 core multiplier. So if you have a 16-core server, you need to purchase “8 processors”.
And before people start spewing Oracle hate, this is standard enterprise on-premise licensing practices used by Microsoft, IBM, SAP etc.
