Intel Core 2 Q9400, Q9400S and Celeron E1500, E1600 EOL Q1 2010
 

The first to go are the boxed Q9400, Q9400S and E1600 which are set to be available for orders until April 9, 2010, and shipping till July 9, while the tray Q9400S will continue being delivered to customers until June 10, 2011. As for the tray versions of the E1500 and E1600, they'll also be up for order until April 9, but will stop shipping after December 10, 2010. No biggie here as Intel is obviously moving towards newer models that come in an LGA 1156 package.
