Yeah hopefully... whats the point of removing one pin here and adding one pin there on the same socket anyway?
And if I was Intel I would have made (years ago) the line up like this: i9 = 16C/32T, i8 = 14C/28T, i7 = 12C/24T, i6 = 10C/20T, i5 = 8C/16T, i4 = 6C/12T, i3 = 4C/8T, i2 = 2C/4T, i1 = 1C/2T
