What is the minimum number of core activations required on a Power E870?

A.
8 cores for 32-core configuration
10 cores for 40-core configuration

B.
8 cores for 32-core configuration
8 cores for 40-core configuration

C.
6 cores for 32-core configuration
8 cores for 40-core configuration

D.
16 cores for 32-core configuration
20 cores for 40-core configuration

Explanation:
For POWER8 and POWER7 servers, you can make a standard request for up to 8 processor core activations
and/or 64 GBs of memory and you can make an exception request for all processors to be activated and/or all
memory to be activated.
