By the time you've forked out for the (now suddenly per core rather than CPU[1]!) enterprise license
1] This properly fucks us on the 2008->2012 upgrade cycle as our primary machines are 4x 8 core Xeons. So that's from 4 licensable CPUs to 32 licensable CPUs. We have 4 of those machines. Bastards!
But the Core pricing is 1/4 the CPU pricing, so you're going from 4 licensable CPUs to the equivalent of 8 licensable CPUs.
