I just participated a Micosoft SQL Server
2005 introduction by Microsoft and they clearly emphasizes that Microsoft counts
a dual core processor as a single processor on licenses. So that paragraph is
outdated. -Mika From: I must be missunderstanding it but the Licensing paragraph says and I
quote: " However, the trend seems to be counting
dual-core chips as a single processor as Microsoft, IBM, Intel, and AMD support
this view. Oracle was counting each core as a processor but came up with a
formula that is a compromise. IBM and Microsoft count a multi-chip-module as
multiple processors. If multi-chip-modules counted as one processor then CPU
makers would have an incentive to make large expensive multi-chip-modules so
their customers saved on software licensing. So it seems like the industry is
heading towards counting each die as a processor, no matter how many cores each
die has ..." What I can understand from this paragraph is that companies are
targeting the number of dies and not the n of cores inside them. João Fernandes Secção de Desenvolvimento Departamento de
Informática From: I disagree... for all interpretations of the definition at
wikipedia it results in the same conclusion... a dual-core cpu is 2
cpu's/processors. That's the point. A mobo with one dual core
processor uses almost the same power as a mobo with 2 separate
processors. All they managed to do was squeeze 2 cpu's on one die. It's 2 cpu's. On 11/3/05, João

Its seems that it depends on the point of
view. What are we counting? the chip? or independent cores inside a chip? It
seems that many are counting the chip himself no matter how many individual
cores they have. It's up to Macromedia what's their point of view. João Fernandes Secção de Desenvolvimento Departamento de Informática From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
[mailto:

Modien Actually Dave dual-core *is* 2 physical processors.
As opposed to Intel's Hyper Threading which is two "virutal"
processors. So if what you read is true... then Macromedia would consider
dual core as 2 processors. On 11/3/05, Dave
