For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for
AMD and Intel multicore chips, “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the
total number of cores by a core processor licensing factor of .50.
"
So if I read the above correct, that means that to CPU license both servers would require a total of 4 CPU licenses 8 cores * .5 .
So according to orace store, the cost of 4 Enterprise Edition CPU licenses is $180,703.47
Which includes your first year of support. Still expensive when compared with the hardware.
CPU math
Nobody seems to have taken into account the CPU math for the Intel hardware.
