Will Intel stop making Haswell chips?

[Kyzer]

To make you buy the skylake ones? Honestly skylake is a waste of cash, Haswell shouldn't go anywhere, but I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised...

[comicsansms]

Is this a question or a statement?

 

Question Answer: They will stop making Haswell, they probably stopped making them the day they released Skylake.

[minibois]

Yes, they will stop production sometimes, if they did not stop already.

Why would they want you to buy older chips still? Or older motherboards? They can make more money by selling new and Skylake has some advantages now I guess, like DDR4.

[Wind]

it will be, eventually. like 2500K and 3570K isn't produced anymore. Skylake is a improvement over Haswell, even if it just a little, improvement still an improvement

How is Skylake a waste of cash? Well, if you have a Haswell chip, it's not worth upgrading, but that's been the situation for the last 10 years. 

 

Of course they will stop making Haswell, as soon as they release the rest of the range. They need to sell much more 14 nm chips for it to be worth it.

I bought some of the last batches of Haswell chips, they were pretty low cost also.

I can't find any good use for a Skylake chip, I'm looking for an eight-core hyper threading one, but it's a pain

[Nexxus]

Of course they will...does intel still make p4s?

[Gofspar]

in small batches yes for RMA's.

in small batches yes for RMA's.

different issue entirely 

Id also be surprised if that was the case frankly

Skylake uses less power, is more consistent in overclocking, uses a faster chipset and utilises the superior bandwidth of DDR4 (as it brings it to the mainstream). It makes no sense to buy older processes and motherboards now, considering they are the same price (the older stuff can even be more expensive by a few dollars at the store near me).

There is no way Intel still makes P4's for any reason

they have stopped making haswell and will provably soon do the same to broadwell

[BrightCandle]

Haswell stopped being made over a year ago, now its just inventory clearing which is why they are quite cheap. Intel will hold onto an amount of CPUs for dealing with returns and that is that. Skylake is a superior processor, in games its remarkably better far more so than its raw number crunching benchmark results would suggest. Not a worthwhile upgrade from Haswell but certainly worth it from Sandy Bridge.

[Nena Trinity]

Its over! But they are maybe still making them for X99 aka the 2011v3 socket!

Unlikely, once CPUs actually go on sale the amount of production usually drops to zero very shortly after as they gear up the equipment to make the next CPU. They usually spend at least 6 months before release making CPUs before they go on sale and yearly release cycles for the mainstream + enthuisiast lines + xeons etc fills the fabs up. So no they are not making Haswell-E anymore either, haven't been for probably a year now.

So all Haswellies are dead? :c
