    As said in the article, It is surprising that they would also discontinue the i5-3450 IB

    Had an idea this would happen, although mabe not quite so soon.
    Will be watching Novatech and Amazon for any news of a price drop on the Core i5 2500K.
    Novatech seem to be becoming a bit shy about holding a stock already, ready just to send out. :(

    I wonder what their going to do when some of us who hit them up on the "$25 one time you fry it no questions asked replacement" decide to use that option.....maybe we'll get it replaced with a Ivy :question:

    Or perhaps buy an Ivy Bridge and run a gen3 system.
    My ol' 2500k is lying in a dusty drawer. :)

    Ivy with their heat issues are just not worth the marginal performance increase. SB is the better chip IMO if you clock to 5ghz.

    ^That's why I'm thinking this early discontinuation is to boost IB sales.:3eyes:

    Going to do the same thing here, going from a 950 @ 3,8 GHz wasn't worth the money to go SB/IB. I will be going Haswell aswell to make a big step.

    This is the main reason I have not upgraded my self. I'm still on the X58 platform with my 960 D0 and its still got an almighty punch left in it. I planned on this mobo/cpu lasting me 3-4 years. But I think Haswell was held back, thought about IB but then thought, why bother. I wont be using the extra power much. All apps and games run as they should do and Ive yet to find a game that bottlenecks this CPU even with my HD7970 overclocked as well it still does not bottleneck it.
