Intel's eight core plans revealed
While Intel is about to release some of the first processors based on its Haswell-E specifications, it is starting to look like they will not be the eight core fiestas expected.
Of the three Haswell-E Core i7 CPUs expected, only one of them, the Core i7-5960X, will actually come with 8 cores, and that is the one which will cost an arm and a leg to buy.
The Core i7-5960X and the other two, the i7-5930K and i7-5820K, will contain only six cores.
Just as a side note, selling your arm & leg will only buy you a 'top end processor for one year'
