Is it worth the wait for Intel® Core i9? or should I just go buy a Intel® Core i7 now?

It's worth the wait if you're doing tasks which are hungry for more threads. But without knowing what you intend to do with the PC, we can only give hypothetical answers.

There is always something faster or better just around the corner. But you need to decide if you truly need (or just want) the extra capabilities of the i9.

the first core i9 will be a way over priced piece with 6 cores that no useful program will be able to use :P

Q1 2010, but if you know the right peeps you can get one now. Also i would wait for it, cuz even if you dont need it the price of everything will drop when it comes out.

+1. Or you can build a LGA1366 based build now and upgrade later when i9 prices drop.
