Quote:Intel today issued a product change notice announcing the discontinuation of its 8th generation Core desktop processor family, and models of Pentium Gold and Celeron processors based on the 14 nm "Coffee Lake" silicon. The PCN covers every 8th gen SKU in the retail- and OEM channels. The company set key dates for the discontinuation. The lineup is discontinued as of June 1, 2020. Suppliers and OEM customers can last order their products on December 18, 2020. The last product shipment is slated for June 4, 2021. It's likely that the 9th generation Core desktop processor family will be follow next year. The 8th generation Core "Coffee Lake" saw the first increase in core counts for Intel's mainstream desktop processor family in close to a decade.

Quote:A pair of high-end Intel CPUs have hit low prices on Newegg today, competing with some of the best Prime Day deals. The Intel Core i9-9900K is down to $365, while the Core i7-10700KA is at $360. Both come with a copy of Marvel's Avengers included.
For each of those, you'll need a code. 2FTSTECH62 gets you $15 off of the $379.99 Core i9-9900K, while 2FTSTECH63 gets you $20 off the Core i7-10700KA at the same price.

Quote:Production of Intel's 300 series chipset motherboards, including the H310, H370, Z370, and Z390 motherboards is officially coming to an end. Actual production will end in July of this year, and by the beginning of 2022 sales for the 300-Series chipset and its motherboards will end for Intel. This information also applies to Intel's 300-Series mobile chipsets like the QM370 that will also be retired at the same time.
This news comes just a month after Intel officially terminated its 9000-Series Core processors, codenamed Coffee Lake Refresh. With Intel already preparing to replace its Comet Lake parts with Rocket Lake this year, it makes sense to discontinue Coffee Lake and its associated chipsets; especially when the 9th gen parts really weren't that much different from Comet Lake-S besides having more threads (and more cores for the i9 SKUs). If for some reason you want a Coffee Lake chip, Micro Center has several Coffee Lake deals going on, like the Core i5-9600K at just $169.99 and the Core i7-9700K for $249.99.
