I just can't take oracle seriously knowing an oracle 11 enterprise db license costs $47,500 per CPU core.

Actually it depends on the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table. http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/contracts/processor-core-...

Most Intel processors fall in the .5 core factor. Interestingly if you license an Oracle core(Sun, Sparc) it is .25.
