core i8

[The Slayer]

is there any information about this yet?

I've tried google, but i'm not finding alot =(.
Wondering if u guys found out more =D

as far as i know there is no plans for intel to use this naming scheme. the latest "sandy bridge" processors are using the i7 moniker. if intel is gonna change its naming scheme it won't be for a few years

Yeah, they're just launching new ones in the current series, also if they're gonna release something new, you can't count on it to be i8, cuz as you see the current numbers are 3,5,7, so next one would probably be 9 or something.

The next chips will be for socket 2011 (Ivy Bridge). There have been no announcements to adopt that naming standard however. Socket 2011 should show us 8 core chips
