Possible on consumer chips, or possible? Because Intel and AMD have both shipped 6+ core parts for some time now, just usually not targeting the consumer segment... IIRC when asked, Intel folks say they haven't make a consumer 6+ core part because there's little benefit/demand, but I can't find a citation for that. [1] is a nice discussion about why we haven't gotten more than 4 cores in consumer parts yet, though. [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12304046 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12304046
