can i expect i7 5770 (any broadwell i7) to have 6 cores?
if you see, i7 3770 (ivy bridge) and i7 3820 (sandy bridge-e) have 4 cores.
also i7 4770 (haswell) and i7 4820K (ivy bridge-e) have 4 cores.
i7 5820K (haswell-e) has 6 cores.
keeping these in mind, can i expect a broadwell i7 to have 6 cores?
also if this is true, can i expect broadwell i5 to have 4 cores and 8 threads and broadwell i3 to have 4 cores and 4 threads?
 
i doubt this .
intel has 6 and 8 cores for their high end 2011-3 socket .
releasing 6 core with 12 threads for more affordable price in mainstream
would cannibalise on their sales in high end .
they don´t need to do so because overclocked AMD FX 8 core chips can
barely keep up with i5 processors
let alone unlocked i7 4790K ...
