Since amd turned there 4 cores into 3's do you guys think that they will make some 6 cores into 5 or 4 core cpus or is this not going to happen any time soon?

Would be kind of nice getting a cheaper cpu with 1 less core.
 
To answer your question, no. I honestly think that the only way you would get a 5 core cpu is if you get a 9xxT and then only unlock one core. I doubt that GF will have low enough yields to justify a 5-core processor.
