to control the percent[age] of total resources any operation can consume so
that they don’t adversely impact our real-time data access.‖

Hot-add CPU is the ability to dynamically add CPUs to a running system.
Adding CPUs can occur physically by adding new hardware, logically by online
hardware partitioning, or virtually through a virtualization layer.

26. Standard Edition Maximum Number of
Up to 16 cores Processors
CPU support
Support for the most powerful servers, scaling
up to the OS maximum number of CPUs
(Standard edition supports 4 CPUs)
Enterprise edition The query optimizer makes operations parallel
Up to 64 cores when there is a benefit
Large queries scale almost linearly, so
doubling the number of CPUs enables
organizations to:
Process the same data in half the time
Process double the data in the same time
―For most large queries SQL Server generally scales linearly or nearly linearly.
For speed up, this means that if we double the number of CPUs, we see the
response time drop in half.‖
