Quote:According to its latest Product Change Notification (PCN) document, Intel has decided it's finally time to discontinue its Skylake-X (SKL-X) processors, which debuted just two years ago.
...
Intel's decision to retire its Skylake-X processors might have something to do with AMD's recently announced Ryzen 3000-series family, which arrives with models that span up to 12 cores. Or perhaps Intel just wanted to free up production capacity, since Skylake-X chips jump out of the 14nm+ griddle, and the chipmaker is still struggling to get out of its 14nm slump. Either way, Intel officially discounted Skylake-X yesterday. Customers can place their last orders for what's left of the Skylake-X chips before December 27, with the final shipment going out on June 5, 2020.
