RE: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy

[Jeff Whatcott]

Interesting discussion.  Our current licensing is by processor and we don't make any special distinction for dual core processors.  We're studying this closely right now, and of course we reserve the right to change our licensing policies in the future, but for now there is no distinction for dual core.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mika Kiljunen Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 2:29 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy I disagree with this, basically I still concider dual core CPU as a single CPU. If it’s counted as 2 CPU’s on license policy then you’re better off having 2 separate CPU’s since they perform much better than the dual cores. If I remember correctly, Oracle counts dual cores as 1.5 processors and they round it upwards so 1 dual cores comes out as 2 and 2 dual cores comes out as 3. This also I think is just stupid J   At least Microsoft shows some sense counting a dual as a single processor.   Still no comment from Macromedia?   -Mika   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Clint Modien Sent: 3. marraskuuta 2005 18:25 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy   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 Fernandes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Clint,   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_core     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: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Clint Modien Sent: quinta-feira, 3 de Novembro de 2005 15:47 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy   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.

So a dual core would just be one processor. Regards, Dave. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
