Intel to Axe Several 45nm Processors
PrintWith Sandy Bridge right around the corner (and by right around the corner, we mean January 5, 2011), Intel has told its partners that it's getting ready to phase out a boatload of 45nm CPUs to ensure a smooth transition to the new platform, DigiTimes reports.
Intel is phasing out 21 chips in all, including:
- Core 2 Quad 9650
- Core 2 Quad 9505
- Core 2 Quad 9300
- Core 2 Quad Q8400
- Core 2 Duo E8600
- Core 2 Duo E8500
- Pentium E6600, E6300, E5600
The Celeron E3300 and E3200 will alsp be phased out at different points in 2011. The bottom line is if you're looking to upgrade an aging platform, the clock is ticking.
