As has been done before, to make room for new processors, Intel did discontinue its product is already long enough.End of shelf-life Intel Core 2 Quad - quad-core processors - and Pentium E6300 - dual core processors - which are both built with 45 nanometer manufacturing process technology has been specified
Both processors are included in the list and discontinue production in 2011 will be discontinued in future years.
As quoted from TCMagazine, June 25, 2010, both versions of the tray and box versions of the two LGA 775 processors will still be available to be ordered by computer makers or retailers until December 24, 2010.
Buyer who gave the order on that date will receive their products on March 25, (box version) and June 24 (tray version) next year.
This time, the reason for Intel to stop production of the second processor is to prepare a place for newer processors, ie the version that was made with 32 nanometer manufacturing process.
As known, the Pentium E6300 has 2MB of L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB, speed of 2.8 GHz and has been present since Q2 2009. The Core 2 Quad Q9300 has 6MB of L2 cache, 1333MHz FSB, and the speed of 2.5 GHz has been circulating since Q1 2008.
