Tiger direct sent this flyer to my email and leaked the i8. Check it out. Read the description.

It is a typo becaue we don't make an Intel® Core™ i8 processor.
Perhaps someone at Intel was a major BMW fan (3-,5-,7 -for their core lineup).
If that's true, then the new Haswells should be the Core M-i3, Core M-i5, and Core M-i7.
That raises a question (and you are more likely to know) which I've wondered for a while. Why are the i- chips numbered 3,5 and 7?
I know it's not supposed to relate to any actual tech contained, or amounts of things, but there must be some reason! Was there ever a prototype i1 or i6 etc? Does the i stand for anything? I assumed it was just "Intel"?
When you start getting into marketing and the perception of what numbers mean it carries all kinds of different connotations. The number 7 almost always carries the meaning of divine or lucky. So going with a 3, 5, and 7 helps in setting the processors apart in a quick easy to use means.
this is such a stupid myth.LMAO Zalman skipped the CNPS-13X for the same reason. 13 is unlucky.

i8 actually makes more sense than i7 with eight threads and all...
this is such a stupid myth.
Fortunately im not the only one. Check this out from a long time ago. This guy talks about an i9.

When they do - however - they will likely still be called i7's

The i3-5-7 naming convention is completely absurd as there are some CPUs in lower brackets which outperform the ones in the higher brackets so IMHO that naming convention is as useful as a rubber crutch but nowhere near as funny.
13 is only unlucky in neurotic patriarchal religions. 13 is actually a Goddess number, so it represents the female power.
I suspect that intel did that on purpose. They presumably don't want to draw attention to the fact that a top end ultrabook is less powerful than a low end desktop.The i3-5-7 naming convention is completely absurd as there are some CPUs in lower brackets which outperform the ones in the higher brackets so IMHO that naming convention is as useful as a rubber crutch but nowhere near as funny.
