What about the environments where they need less CPU count and more memory ? To fulfill the memory licensing they will need to buy extra licenses and waste money on processors which they dont need; since licensing is tied with processor and memory.

Folks are eager to find ways to get to have their physicals and they throw things like this out every chance they get. This comes into all budget/project discussions. The fact that the Autonomy effort needs more is just a single application in the Tier 1 space. I'm going to easily state that most new VMs that I'm getting are 48G minimum if not larger, say 64G. The low amount of vRAM per Enterprise+ or the in-ability to purchase some vRAM only expansions at a reduced rate means it is an additional $72 per G of RAM. That's non-trivial increase in price after a couple applications of this scale. I'm not saying good or bad. Just something to keep in mind as we go forward with this style licensing.

Our existing estate will be just fine if I upgrade to vSphere 5 across the board. The problem will lie in future when we want to attract the bigger, Tier 1-type VMs that need 48-64GB+ of RAM per VM - it will ultimately place a question mark over virtualising those applications. I'd like to see a vRAM increment that you could purchase to save having to waste CPU licenses. Couldn’t agree more with this post – it’s exactly the situation I am in today.

It would still mean extra vRAM needed, of course, but "only" 384GB = $27960 at the prices you mentioned.
