The only place you'd get an 8 core processor out of the box would be in a server. Such as the optoron or xeon processor ranges.

Quadcore is the high end then if you add hyper threading you get 8 "virtual cores (apple's term not mine) or more accurately the OS thinks there are 8 cores which is a product of hyper threading. Sounds more reasonable.
