Intel announces Core 2 Quad Q6600 EOL

|
Intel recently announced that the company will take 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600 orders until 8th of May, 2009, and will ship the CPU in box and tray version until August 7th 2009 and July 10th, 2010 respectively.Intel explained this move with the consumer demand shifting to higher performance CPUs. The Quad Q6600, which we tested way back, was insanely popular as it was a great bang for buck as it featured a decent price and overclocked nicely.

Due to quite a demand for it, it managed to outlive and certainly outshine its brethren, as it broke through quite a number of EOL announcements. Since this is a Kentsfield based CPU built in the now obsolete 65nm process, we do not expect it to do so again, so we’ll start baking its retirement cake.
