As far as I know Intel released the i7 980X rather than i9's, but I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of some monster 8 core i9's with hyperthreading in the future. Now that the multiple core craze has started there is no knowing when and where it will end.

0	I wouldn't worry about it. There is a 90 core processor being developed that's about the size of a table, so I'm sure more cores will be coming soon. answered Jun 06 '10 at 01:28 Jimbalimb 1●4●5●6
