It's a classic case of "out with the old, in with the new" at Intel, who is planning to EOL several products in the near future. Among the most popular CPU's that are being forced into retirement are the Core 2 Extreme QX6850 and QX6800 - who will be done as of July 2008, the Core 2 Duo E6850 and E6750 in Q1 2009, and the budget Pentium dual-core E2140 in June of this year. Also, it appears as if Intel plans on discontinuing the ultra-successful P35 chipset in December '08 to make room for its replacement, the P45 - which will feature PCI-E 2.0 expansion slots, FSB speeds up to 1600 MHz, and DDR3 support up to DDR3-1333.
