Intel's new 6 core beast

I think it's been briefly mentioned before but good find. I talked about this in DeadRed's upgrade thread but a lot of current x58 socket LGA 1366 motherboards will support these 6 core "Gulftown" processors. Here is the current list from Asus: 2nd column is the BIOS revision number

P6X58D Premium 0222
P6TD Deluxe 0209
P6T Deluxe V2 0704
P6T Deluxe 1804
P6T SE 0608 P6T 0904
Rampage II Extreme 1639
Rampage II GENE 1033

Isn't pretty much any socket 1366 motherboard going to support them with a BIOS update? I wouldn't think it would be JUST those 7...

It's not a new architecture, from what I understand - it's just 2 more cores.

I wonder how many arms+legs they'll want for that...
