Six-core Intel Nehalem processors in the works?

It’s a bit of a whisper on the wind, but bit-tech says Intel’s got six-core Nehalem processors in the works for later this year. The chips are said to be compatible with existing Nehalem mobos, so you crazy builders out there will be able to just drop it in and go. If you’ve got the scratch, of course — pricing hasn’t been revealed, but we’d expect the new part to be more expensive than the quad-core Core i7 975, which runs about a grand.
