22 months separated Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E, while 17 months separated Gulftown and Bloomfield.
Considering the absence of AMD in the upper end and only competing with their own unlocked mainstream, I say Broadwell-E is on schedule for 2016, my guess June.
As for the idea of more than 8-cores, not until Cannonlake-E.
Presler flagship was a 2-core
Conroe flagship was a 2-core

Kentsfield flagship was a 4-core
Yorkfield flagship was a 4-core
Bloomfield flagship was a 4-core

Gultown flagship was a 6-core
Sandy Bridge-E flagship was a 6-core
Ivy Bridge-E flagship was a 6-core

Haswell-E flagship is an 8-core
Broadwell-E flagship will be an 8-core
Skylake-E flagship will be another 8-core

Cannonlake-E flagship will have more than 8-cores.
