Later this year, Intel is exspected to release a platform called, Skulltrail, which will give the game enthusiasts (the ones with the most money) a platform to plug in two quad-core CPUs- for a total of 8 cores on one motherboard.

This platform will also have 4 PCI Express slots. I guess Intel is going to try and copy AMDs 4X4 platform.

As cool as this sounds, developers are just getting around to support 2 cores. I only can imagine how much this is going to cost.
