Socket423 Died. Officially... [02/05/2002 08:29 PM]

Well, finally happened the thing, which have all know about since the end of 2000: Socket423 (for Pentium 4 CPUs) left this sinful earth having hardly lasted for a year and a half (the first mPGA423 processor was launched on November 20, 2000, and active life of Socket423 was over about 6 months ago).

So, Intel officially announced the beginning of their discontinuance program for all mPGA423 Pentium 4 processors with 1.5Ghz-2GHz core frequencies. This way they have completely shifted to a new Socket478. At the same time they announced the discontinuance of their 0.18micron (Willamette) mPGA478 Pentium 4 2GHz. Instead they will offer Pentium 4 2A (built on 0.13micron Northwood core).

Unfortunately, the exact dates for the last order and last shipment haven’t yet been reported (but they will be reported later, no doubt). Intel is most likely to have already stopped shipping boxed CPUs, and will probably accept some more orders until the end of the year. However, let’s wait for the official info on the matter...
