Intel has shown that the entire Pentium 4 architecture will be laid to rest by February of 2007. The massive Funeral will play host to the Intel Celeron D, Pentium 4's, Pentium D's, Pentium 4 XE's & Extreme Edition CPU's. Most of these CPU's will fall off the charts starting at the end of this month, but will ultimately be put to rest at the end of Q1 2007.
ntel Celeron D including 350, 345 and 310 will finish its life cycle as soon as September. You have some fifteen days to order one. The Celeron D 340, 330, 325, 320 and 315 will continue their existence until Q1 2007 and then will finally retire.

Intel Pentium 4 524, 670, 660, 650, 640 and 630 will end its life in February 2007. Intel's target notification date for 524 CPU is December 2006 and for the rest of the 2MB cache CPUs it's Q1 2007.

Intel Pentium D the first of dual cores including 830, 840, 930 and 940 have the target notification date as early as August and its end of life scheduled for October. Pentium D 805 will live until December 2006.

Intel Pentium 4 XE processor (3.73GHz) and 840's target notification date is set for August and these two CPU's have the end of life scheduled for October 2006.

The last of the Extreme edition CPUs 965 and 955 have the target notification date set for November and will reach the end of their short life in January 2007. After Q1 2007 it, there will only be Pentium M, Conroe based marchitecture so rest in peace Net Burst as you served us well from 1.4 GHz Pentium 4 and socket 423 till the last breath. We know you lost your breath a while ago with Prescott onward but we forgive you.
Let look at the bright side, they don't have to worry about the depths of hell, as they already ran that hot...

    I beg to differ, the 1.4 Ghz Pentium 4 socket 423 did not serve us well. Pentium 4's were stillborn until Northwood came around.

    Couldn't agree more. Northwood really gave the Athlon XP a run for its money, but both pre and post northwood was simply a big disappointment. I can't bear to think of how much wasted electricity has been consumed due to the wide deployment of the Pentium 4 and Xeon.

    Anyhow, its great to see Intel turn over a new leaf. This latest generation is very exciting, and where Intel should have moved a long time ago.

    Yeh, when you think about it, that is a lot of electricity.

    Anyway, finally; netburst has been aging, and intel needed something new.

    AMD deserves alot of the credit for where Intel has improved. Without AMD, we simply wouldn't have Core 2, just higher Ghz P4s. *Glances forlornly at his 2.4C*

    Maybe there is hope for an end to global warming after all!

    RIP P4

    Let's see, if Intels sales of CPUs is $20-25B/yr.
    And P4 has been with us since late 2000.
    So that is 7 years.

    How many have they made? 200,000,00??? more?

    If we take an average of 100W each, 50 hours/week, running full power 15% of the time that is 37kW hr /year per CPU....
    Intel P4s are buring 7,500,000 MW hrs per year.
    This is about one 1,000MW Nuke plant running full time just to power P4s.

    It can't die fast enough.

    Oh, that's great efficiency compared to Pentium Ds, especially the D8XX series! :hair:
