Well, AMD has had 6-core CPUs for quite a while now, and even 8-core ones.

The only 6-core Intel ones are the high end, socket 2011 CPUs like the old i7-3930K and i7-4930K and the newer i7-5820K and i7-5930K. The top of the line is the i7-5960X and has 8-cores. All of them have Hyper-Threading, so your PC sees twice the cores (12 and 16).


OOh  - any news about next gen (next year) ones?

From AMD? Rumors say that Zen may come in 2017, so I hope it's not true.

From Intel? They will launch new high end CPUs in both 6 and 8 core variants. I don't know what will happen with their consumer parts, but I remember rumors saying that they might launch a 6 core CPU. It's better to expect new 2 and 4 cores CPUs.
