Intel Plans the Retirement of 17 'Ivy Bridge' Core Processors
Since Haswell is already doing an encore and Broadwell is looking good coming up, Intel has decided to do a little cleaning and discontinue some of its older processors. No less than 17 processors are set to get the axe and they are the Ivy Bridge-based Core i5-3330, i5-3330S, i5-3340, i5-3340S, i5-3470, i5-3475S, i5-3470S, i5-3470T, i5-3550, i5-3570, i5-3570S, i5-3570T, i5-3570K, i7-3770, i7-3770K, i7-3770S and i7-3770T.
The CPUs listed will continue to be available for ordering until December 24th while shipments will happen until June 5th, 2015.

Next is either the devil or broadwell!
And the beat goes on....
hell, I still kick with a couple 775 E8500s, another amazing cpu that should go down in history as a silicon superstar.
And my 25oo- Ks are still fantastic chips.
These "upgrades" make me laugh at myself. I was caught up in the buy buy buy thing for years. I have spent more money on cpus than I care to think about. No more... I've learned my lesson. Not unless they come out with something a LOT better and faster, a lot. And I don't believe that is going to happen anytime in the near future. Say the next 10 years or so?
What I have works and works the nuts for what I do. Intel really built a few winners with these chips.
4.4-4.5GHz Or OCCT or LinX AVX Edition. People payed so expensive motherboards to run in circle and tweak about 200-300MHz + - to find best temp/voltage option for 4.2-4.3GHz.
Next CPU only without Internal Graphic 6+ cores, something for longer period.
I don't want to read how Intel change decision, as they don't want to support i7-4970K on Z87, they could say no Broadwell on Z97. Now is two years how I use i7-3770K/Z77 and they still didn't change X79, he was available one year before Z77, but instead of that they change two platforms for mainstream and they plan 3rd Broadwell 2.5 years after Z77. 3 platform for 2.5 years every 5% difference. Scandal. If I buy 6-8 cores - DDR4 Quad 2133-2400MHz, SATA Express, USB 3.1 what so important can be changed for 3 years or 4. Nothing, DDR4 will be available only in 50% of PC and than.
