My observation for the new Sandybridge E is that they are not increasing the cores and thread, but increase cache from 12MB - 15MB and turbo from 3.73-3.9Ghz. So, it seems the trend may be to increase cache and turbo frequency instead of increasing cores (may not have significant performance gains?). I will do some research and blog about it.
