More cores vs More GHZ (Microsoft licensing)

Hello,

As everybody probably know microsoft changed their licensing model for windows 2016 to a per core model.

In my hardware designs i always kept a 1:3 ratio for Cores/vCPU's and try to use a cpu with 2.6 ghz.

Now with the new modelling costs of licensing can go through the roof. so the question i have is pretty simple.


Can i use a higher ratio like 1:4 if i choose a cpu with more ghz per core.

I understand it is not an exact science..

regards
