Socket 775 and 65nm continues to be shipped late in 2012

While we eagerly await the latest processors from Intel on their 22nm technology, they have no hurry to let the past die with dignity. Their old LGA 775 socket and several associated processors will ship until late in 2012, including a processor built on 65nm.

LGA 775 socket may be viewed as special for many when Intel made its transition from the not so successful NetBurst architecture, Conroe and Core 2 Duo, which put the company on the map again in both performance and power efficiency. But certain things should be allowed to die out with dignity and this is a clear example of this. Core 2 Duo was launched and was manufactured at 65nm, and since then we have seen the 45nm, 32nm and soon 22nm from the company.

LGA 1156 and LGA 1155 that houses today's Sandy Bridge processors have since been released. Ivy Bridge, which is expected to appear in March-April next year will be built on 22nm and be compatible with LGA 1155th But it has no intention to end the LGA 775th

During the fourth quarter of this year, ending the company shipping the Core 2 Duo E7600 and E7500, but other processors will be shipped well into the next year. Pentium E6800, E6700, E5800 and Celeron E3500 and E3400 will be shipped to the Q3 2012 but this date may be extended. Last out, we have Celeron 430 which are built on 65nm, and has a core clocked at 1.8 GHz with a TDP value of 35W. Although this will be shipped until Q3 2012th

As the top of that, Intel LGA 1156 alive with multiple processors. so there are many generations they stay alive, to ensure that clients and consumers have an upgrade path to climb on. But at the LGA 775, we have hard to see why they still retain, Core 2 Duo was good in its day but has now been replaced by better alternatives.
