Damn, that was fast. SB hasn't even been out for 2 years.

Still selling them till September next year, hardly biting the dust yet...

As said in the article, It is surprising that they would also discontinue the i5-3450 IB

Had an idea this would happen, although mabe not quite so soon.
Will be watching Novatech and Amazon for any news of a price drop on the Core i5 2500K.
Novatech seem to be becoming a bit shy about holding a stock already, ready just to send out. 🙁

I wonder what their going to do when some of us who hit them up on the "$25 one time you fry it no questions asked replacement" decide to use that option.....maybe we'll get it replaced with a Ivy :question:
SLI-756

Ivy with their heat issues are just not worth the marginal performance increase. SB is the better chip IMO if you clock to 5ghz.

^That's why I'm thinking this early discontinuation is to boost IB sales.:3eyes:

Well enjoy the wait, me i'll be playing borderlands2, farCry3, Crysis3 -my body is ready -, Hitman and GTA5 with a full gen3 system, hell i'll maybe pick up some 3Ghz ram for the occasion.
Say hello to the wake -gen3 pc master race reporting in.
