It really does get clearer than that, because I don't think it's talking about cores. None of the common Intel processors are MCM. They did make a massive 56 core Xeon by gluing two dies together and that would count.

Read the PDF link again. There is multicore for all except products with standard in the name with the exception of Java subscription.

Right, it's pretty clear elsewhere that it's per core. But the section you quoted doesn't clarify anything, it's actually contradictory and bizarre that it's present.

What I quoted does clarify (although in a convoluted way) that it is multi-core.

Only if Oracle is allowed to redefine the industry standard meaning of MCM. Read literally it does not imply per core pricing, in fact quite the opposite.

An 8 core Zen would count as 1. An 8 core Zen 2 would count as 2. A 2 core Pentium D would count as 2, but Core 2 Duo would count as 1 and a Core 2 Quad as 2. A 64 core EPYC would count as 9.
