After outlining the phase out schedule for its Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor, Intel today reported that it is retiring two more CPUs - the 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad Q6700 Kentsfield (65nm) quad-core and the 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo E4700 Allendale (65nm) dual-core. Intel will be taking orders for both processors until March 24, 2009 and shipping them until June 4, 2010 in trays, and until July 3, 2009 boxed.

I didn't even think the Q6700 was still being made, I thought they discontinued it a while ago, I certainly haven't seen any for sale in a long while.

One of my distribs still carries it, even tried to sell me it over a Q9550..... Crazy...
Time to go old chips! *waves*
The QX6700 is still going strong for me.:)
No point in upgrading.

by: CDdude55Not much reason to it's still a hot chip for 99% of use.

how much does he sell it for?
I am with Newteki, I thought they were already gone. News to me that they are still being made.
E4700 is a quite new processor (came april), but it's beaten by E5200 in price and propably with performance. With E5300 out soon, by both. I don't get why would they still make those and why would someone order them still next year.
Real news would be where do all these chips go, they aren't on market :)

237?
They still even have a few 8800GTX's laying around they are still asking $450ish for.
Distributors are stupid, I mean I told him I wanted an Asus P5Q, he tried to sell me a MicroATX P5Q without Raid, the whole reason I wanted that over the P5Q-SE was it had RAID, and I told him that in the first place...
Sales reps are useless... I would get a new distributor but these guys get me my stuff fast and never charge shipping, plus its really nice and easy to rma stuff to them.
ok then, thanks.
anyone know if intel plans to release some 45nm celerons?
intel become kill one after one , ok intel you can say everyone must go to core i7 by force
Yes by kiling off the best bang for buck processors.
by: cdawallI hope so, but doubt it.

by: insiderYeah, I was really hoping that by the time they killed of the 65nm quads, the Q9650 would at least be in the $300 range.

Unfortunately unless AMD comes up with an i7 price/performance killer Intel can afford to keep the prices relatively high.
