A z10 processor has 4 cores, but each IFL/ZIIP/ZAAP/GP is really only one of those cores. So licensing for an IFL should count as one Oracle license (1 core). One other thing you'll find is that they have a multiplier depending on the core type/speed. I think the multiplier for z hardware is 100%.

Has anyone else had experience with this? Is this correct?
