Where's Core 2 Quad Gone

[capital_one]

on the website of Intel i do not see the core 2 series anywhere under the desktop series

http://www.intel.com/products/processor/index.htm?iid=subhdr+prod_proc

i only see the i series everywhere

are core 2 processors being discontinued

is the LG775 obsolete in the next coming months or so

LGA775 is dead and gone You won't see any more chips being made for this socket. The i series is the future for intel at the moment. Strange that they have taken the info off their site though!

well my whole plan was around the core 2 quad

i almost sweated when i saw the core 2 missing on Intel's website


but they haven't made any public announcement that they are stopping core 2 series,

may be this what they are planning secretly, its pretty evident,



please advise if there is any news of Intel actually stopping the manufacturing and sales of the Core 2 line of CPUs ?

If you're building new I'd go an i5 or i7 instead. Or the AMD route on the AM3 socket. Just gives you that extra bit of future-proofing over LGA775. I really can't imagine there being any more 775 chips put into production

By this I mean any NEW processors. I'm sure they will continue to manufacture Core2's and places will continue to sell them I just meant they won't be releasing any news ones. Sorry for the confusion!

Core2 data is still on the website. Just google processor model or S-Spec.
