Thomas,
You could just plug the name of the processor into this handy perl
pvu calculator:
===========================
#!/bin/perl
#
print "Enter processor type: ";
$PROCESSOR_TYPE = <STDIN> ;
$INPUT = length ($PROCESSOR_TYPE);
$pvu = int(rand($INPUT) * 10);
print "You need to purchase " . $pvu . " Privileged Value Units\n";
============================
Have a nice day!

Subject: [ADSM-L] Licensing for Core 2 Duo processors
I am working on calculating the number of value units needed for clients
of our 5.4.2.0 TSM server. One of the client systems is performing
server functions and is reportedly using Intel Core
2 Duo processors with two cores per processor. The IBM value unit table
has no entry for Core 2 Duo processors. As far as I can tell, Core 2 Duo
is not a subspecies of Xeon, which does have an entry.
There is a table entry that amounts to 'other single core', but no entry
for 'other dual core'. Has IBM made an official statement on value unit
requirements for Core 2 Duo processors?
