Intel Culls Twelve Core, Celeron "Sandy Bridge" Processor Models

btarunr · Jan 16, 2013, 03:36 AM

Intel's spring cleaning began early, with the company discontinuing twelve processor models spanning across the Core and Celeron lines, based on the 32 nm "Sandy Bridge" silicon. The company issued a PDN (product discontinuation notice) to that effect. A majority of these are mobile parts, whose market lifetime is stretched to keep up with OEM orders. Among the chips are the Core i7-2960XM, i7-2860QM, i5-2557M, i7-2637M, and Celeron B710, and 857. According to the PDN, Intel will stop accepting orders for the chips from July 11, 2013, and the last orders will have shipped out by January 14, 2014.

Ah, I am disappointed there isn't news in here about a twelve-core Intel processor.

Rowsol · Jan 16, 2013, 04:02 AM

Yeah, I thought a 12 core celeron, lol

silkstone · Jan 16, 2013, 04:29 AM

Exactly what i thought also... looked and clicked, left disappointed.

KainXS · Jan 16, 2013, 06:05 AM

clicked for 12 cores and nothing, ive been scammed

_JP_ · Jan 16, 2013, 08:24 AM

No 12-core Celerons...

Would be nice to get a 1.6GHz 12-core and then clock it at 3.2GHz.
Anyways, I like the 857's S-Spec.

Prima.Vera · Jan 16, 2013, 10:53 AM

LOL- 12 processors "Core" brand yo, haha

What you may not realize is that the sandy and ivy bridge celerons are quite powerful, Even a single core celeron matched performance of a AM3 dual cores in gaming for like 30$!

Very wrong. As someone else above said, they are pretty decent actually, and twelve of them on one die... That would be quite excellent. And because it's "Celeron" they would probably be pretty cheap too.

poor grammar

lyndonguitar · Jan 16, 2013, 04:12 PM

I counted thirteen? its wrong on twelve both ways lol

ColdRush · Jan 16, 2013, 04:32 PM
