And what's even more exciting is that currently this 750 system fits within the 4 socket limit for the Oracle Standard Licence which will only cost you £10555 per socket, that's £1319 per core, compared with the £28947 per core for enterprise edition! I'm not sure how long this will last so get in there quick everyone! - Robin Webster Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:00:48 +0100 http://www.centiq.co.uk/blog/power7-vs-power6-taking-a-closer-look-at-the-prices.html#comment-18 Those price differences are quite staggering.
