AMD stops production of Socket 939 Opterons

@ 2005/12/10

THE LAUNCH of Opterons for Socket 939 was obviously just a smoke in the mirror. The complete stock of Opterons model number 14x and 16x (dual-core) dissapeared from e-tailers and retailers, with hundreds of overclockers buying even six or eight CPU's at the same time. Reason: Opteron, a 1MB L2 cache processor was priced lower than Athlon 64 models with 512KB of L2 cache. Also, those Opteron babies were bad-boys when it comes to cooling, working at 2.7-2.9 GHz with air-cooling - at zero problems, with a lower operating temperature than default-clocked Pentium D 840.
This has come to a close, as we have received a document that goes to show that company has decided to stop production of several different SKU's.

I thought when they said 14x and 16x that 15x and 17x are exluded. Maybe I should read the full article

Opteron 170 = S939
S939 Opteron = finito

therefore

Opteron 170 = finito
