thanks for your interesting comment @stpro1 also Intel skipped core i4 and i6 too!
I think they only use odd numbers to name their processors. i3, i5, i7, and now i9 have odd numbers and no even numbers. Conspiracy theory?
NO Conspiracy theory - I think simply to avoid confusion with number of cores.

Ah, that makes sense!
