Intel's existing line of Core chips (http://www.engadget.com/tag/core+2010) just not potent enough for your tastes? Sicko. For those who just can't sleep without longing for the next best thing, it seems that said "thing" is just a few days away from a proper reveal. Germany's own Alternate has already listed Intel (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Intel/)'s six-core Core i7-980X Extreme Edition chip for sale, enabling moneyed consumers to snap up a piece of Gulftown (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/gulftown-processor-dubbed-core-i7-980x-making-its-debut-q1-2010/) for the princely sum of €1,049 ($1,430). Yeah, that's a stiff premium for a six-core chip that's ready to do more than sit snugly within some under-appreciated server box, but do you have any idea how much more bodacious you'll be than your dual- and quad-core owning contemporaries? Way.
