Processor 721 Published by

Intel announced that by the end of the next year it will halt shipments of a wide series of 900-series processors, including the six-core i7-990X.

The chip maker has announced its decision through a Product Change Notification (PCN) document and covers five Core i7-900 series processors using the LGA 1366 socket.

The chips in question are the box and tray versions of the Core i7-980, i7-960, i7-950, i7-930 as well as those of the Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition.

Customers can place orders for these chips until June 29 of 2012. The last shipments of tray CPUs will be sent out towards those who have placed orders on December 7, 2012, while boxed processors will be shipped as long as supplies last.

While definitely important, Intel
