Poll question is, What do you think the maximum number of cores in the upcoming Skylake (Intel) mainstream processor line, going to be ?
Since some source(s) seem to say that mainstream Skylake (Intel) will start at Quad core, and Haswell-E is going to be up to 8 core, will we see Skylake produce the first (mainstream, non-extreme) hex (or even 8) core desktop cpus ?
(Yes, I know extreme versions will go above quad core already, but I want them to be the latest architecture, and NOT cost excessive amounts of money for the cpu, motherboard and potentially other bits).
(Also, I know that AMD had the (now eventually out-going) FX 8 cores, and Atom goes to 8 cores, but I want/mean something which can give 50% (approx) more performance than a haswell 4771 (BEFORE any overclocking), IF the software being run is suitably multi-threaded).
