The discontinuation affects a total of 7 products, encompassing 14 different models within the "K", "KF", and "KS" series. It's important to note that only the boxed versions of these processors are being discontinued. This decision does not immediately affect the availability of these processors in the market, as existing inventories may still be available for purchase. However, for potential buyers considering Intel processors, the newer 14th Generation series is your best bet.
