Intel to discontinue Core i7 920 & 940 CPUs

[Shintai]

WTF where is the i7 920 going? I was planning to buy a very cheap(£155, fu intel) X58 mobo along with the 920, now that 6gb DDR3 sticks are so cheap. Why are they discontinuing 920's? maybe to boost i5 sales, since they almost overlap

kinda sad

They AINT discontinuing 920. The OP is wrong. Its about 940 and 965.

If they discontinue 920 you would get a 930 for the same price.

I've heard rumours that the 940 is going end of life once 950 is established and there wont be D0 940s, likewise with the 965 & 975. So since D0 920s exist it is unlikely that it will be discontinued. The time line for phasing out C0 i7s is down to Intel shifting the 'old' stock into the channel.
