IIRC there were i7 chips with six or eight cores available for a while, they were just ridiculously expensive.

- astrodust 9y agoThe X series has always been ahead of the curve, but priced astronomically expensive, usually well above the equivalent Xeon part. The i7 was introduced as a 4-core part and only now have they started to shift that to 6-core by default. If their initial trend with Core continued we'd be at 16+ by now.
