News Intel readies a six core chip

because they dont have "real" quadcores, their quadcores are two dualcores, so its easy to make a 6 core cpu, 8 cores however would bring more problems with amount of room avalaible, heat output and power consumption (the power regulation on the mainboard woudnt like it).There will be 8 core cpu's from intel, but not in the next few months, wait for nehalem and its new sockets.
