Common cloud industry practice is to define compute instances based on the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) they include. Each vCPU provides the capacity for one thread of execution. A vCPU does not provide a whole physical compute core, it’s part of a core. In contrast, Oracle’s x86 compute shapes use OCPUs which equate to physical CPU cores, each of which provides for two threads. To make it easier for customers to compare across cloud service providers, Oracle presents vCPU pricing on our web pages while billing is based on the number of OCPU time they consume. The per-hour OCPU rate customers are billed at is twice the vCPU price on the web pages since they receive two vCPUs of compute power instead of one.

*Notes:
-1 OCPU on x86 CPU Architecture (AMD and Intel) = 2 vCPUs
-1 OCPU on Arm CPU Architecture (Ampere) = 1 vCPU
-The minimum unit of provisioning starts from 1 OCPU on both X86 (Intel and AMD) and Arm (Ampere) processors.
-The first 3K OCPU-hrs and the first 18K GB-hrs each month is free for Ampere A1 shape.
-All compute instances use boot volumes as their system disk. Additional storage and boot volumes are billed at the standard block volumes service pricing. Note, that this is in addition to the price of the compute instance.
-E3, E4, X9, A1 SKUs will support resource-based pricing. The OCPU and the memory resources are priced separately and customers will need to purchase the Memory SKU along with the OCPU SKU. The memory to OCPU ratio can range from 1GB/OCPU upto 64 GB/OCPU.
-Capacity reservations cost 85% of the price for regular compute instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates.
-Preemptible instances cost 50% less than regular compute instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates. See the product documentation for supported shapes.

-All compute instances use boot volumes as their system disk. Additional storage and boot volumes are billed at the standard block volumes service pricing. Note, that this is in addition to the price of the compute instance.
-E3, E4, X9, A1 SKUs will support resource-based pricing. The OCPU and the memory resources are priced separately and customers will need to purchase the Memory SKU along with the OCPU SKU. The OCPU and memory resources are fixed for Bare Metal Instances.
-Unused Capacity reservations are priced at 85% of the price of regular instances. This discount is applied in addition to other discounts, such as UCM negotiated rates.
