Xeon SP4 Performance profile licensing

Posted by HJForsythe@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 0 comments

Has anyone seen anything regarding what licensing needs to be applied to servers running Xeon SP4 CPUs in their various 'performance profile' modes? For example the 4410Y can be 6,8, or 12 cores. If we run them in 8 core is that licensed as 8 cores or is it 12? I can't find any guidance on this. All of the other 8 core CPUs are either trash (bronze) or wildly overpriced.
