Intel Discontinues E2220 and QX9775

Both the E2220 and the QX9775 processors from Intel are going to be discontinued in October. This was announced by Intel today and doesn't really come as a surprise, considering that "Market demand for the Intel Pentium Processor E2220 has shifted to other Intel processors" and that the QX9775 didn't fare much better. Especially, since the QX9775 is still selling for around $1,500 USD and both the E2220 and QX9775 have worthy alternatives available in form of the Core i7 and E5000 series.
