PC online has leaked an Intel published slide showing the name of the new Core i7 six-core processor. Many had assumed an I9 naming convention but this appears to be incorrect - the clock speed is said to be around 3 ghz and is backed up by 12mb of L3 cache as well as Turbo Boost Technology.
This CPU is targeted to users who already own a X58 board and who want the fastest possible performance with a whopping 6 cores at hand. This 6 core processor is based on the 32nm Westmere process and rumours have emerged that Intel are aiming for a March 2010 release. The price is set to be high as always and although nothing is confirmed we can expect little change, if any, from a grand.

Short list... latest versions of 3D Studio MAX, AutoGK, Cinema 4d Rendering, DVDShrink v3.2, Lightwave 3D, Nero Suite, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere and photo shop. Hell the Photoshop CS4 wont run on anything but dual cores and up.
Autocad and Inventor will use a Dual Core, haven't tried it on a quad yet to see how they use it.

Generally speaking, most users barely tap the potential of their computer system. Applications and video games are usually more affected by clock speed than they are processor cores, and many programs still are single-threaded. But again, this applies to most users. The differences between hardware enthusiasts or power-users and their casual PC user counterparts are acute and to the point that they have little in common with each other. While mainstream users concern themselves with browsing the web and checking email, enthusiasts are constantly looking to push their hardware with powerful overclocking experiments and power users create multiple virtual machine profiles for commercial application.

To a certain extent yes, to others no. as more applications take advange of multi core system the amount of threads available be better then ll out core speed. Cyberlink power Director is on e of these apps that are now starting to take advantage of a multiple core CPU. As it maxes out all of my available threads on a core i7 970. Games that rely heavily on physx (CPU based and Ageia) see a significant increase of performance.
