Oracle Processor and Core Factor License Calculator
Oracle processor licensing does not count sockets or raw cores. It multiplies physical cores by the Core Factor for your chip. Enter cores, the factor, and your rate to size the licence and support cost.

The Core Factor Table is public and changes over time. The factor for your specific processor decides the count, so confirm the current factor for the exact chip in writing and keep the table version with your contract record.
Support is the long-run cost
Support, billed annually as a percentage of licence fee, is where Oracle protects revenue. Negotiate a support cap and repricing protection at purchase, because both are close to impossible to win later.
