I think sooner or later, intel will release 32nm westmeres with only 4 cores from the salvaged 6 core chips. They could rebrand it as an i7 960 or something. What surprises me is why intel hasn't done this yet with the current failed i7 CPUs, but I guess dual/trip core on LGA1366 would tarnish the socket's 'high end' image.
