The third quarter of last year gave a lover of multi-core processors the Core i7-970 model, which allowed more modest money than the Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, gain access to six core of the Gulftown crystal. Let’s remember the characteristics of this chip.
The PCN 110769-00 document reports that Intel has launched a program to withdraw the Core i7-970 processor production. Both delivery options (Tray and Box) will be available for order until January 27, 2012. The last shipment of the Tray version will be held on July 6, 2012, and the BOX equipment will be on sale before the depletion of warehouses.
Now the guys from Santa Clara officially offers only one non-extreme processor on the Gulftown core-Core i7-980.
