The P05 systems are the 4 core boxes, I suspect given the description this
is a 6 or 8 core system which would make it a P10. In either case, adding
a core to the existing one will not change the P level.
What might be a slight added cost is if the system was ordered without all
the cores activated, then there will be a charge for activating the
hardware portion. Again, that’s not cost prohibitive.

Apologies, I missed the versions etc.
We are at 7.3 and very old PTF's Back to when the system was delivered I
think. Long before my time..
Our performance is not bad. But if the cost is reas, we may consider
another processor

Subject Question on effectiveness of additional processors
How effective are additional processors on the system.
We have a Power8 with 1 processor activated.
If we activate another processor or 2, what benefits should I see?
I have heard that the additional processor will not make much

What am I missing?
