Miller<br /><br />Lexington: Settling a rift over whether AMD's Opteron processor counted as two chips or one, IBM announced that it would change the pricing scheme of software licensing.<br /><br /> IBM and other manufacturers had been sticking to their logical guns regarding pricing. A dual core processor, in their estimate, is essentially two processors and software should be priced accordingly.<br /><br /> But when questioned about the actual added value of multi-core processing and the prospect of keeping prices reasonable enough for the lower end Linux and Windows market, IBM changed its mind. <br /><br /> The end result is dual-core software at the price of single core.
