It's been a while since we saw the first pictures and tests of Intel's coming hexa-core processor Gulftown. The processor that is expected to launch as Core i9 will be Intel's first hexa-core CPU for retail and the launch is slated for next year. The problem is that the new CPU is spreading fast already and that engineering samples (ES) that should not be sold are not only sold on eBay but even enthusiast forums around the world.
