Is this still the latest schema about which cores/CPUs cost how many
licenses?
IBM's licensing policy is summarized below:

OpenPower 710 and 720 servers, and the PowerPC 970 chip on BladeCenter
JS21 servers, require only one license for each dual-core chip.

Intel and AMD servers include, but are not limited to, the IBM

And what about pSeries with p5 CPUs where you can switch the SMT-feature
on and off (which is the equivalent to ht in Intel-CPus). Does my
licensing change if I change the configuration?
