Is i5 a dead-end upgrade path?

I know there's no plans for anything higher end on i5 atm, but just wondering whether people think Intel are likely to bring out faster cpus for i5...

Very tempted to get an i750 with an evga p55 ***, but not sure if I'd regret it... I imagine I'd keep it for 2-3 years before looking to upgrade - an6yone think it's likely intel will bring out something faster for the mainstream or just concentrate on the high and low-end?

Will the i9 chips come down in price to under £200 within those 3 years - don't think I'd spend more than that on a cpu so if they'd remain too expensive there'd not be such a problem getting an i5, bar it losing more resale value I suppose...
