Intel QX9770 and QX9650 CPUs End-Of-Life June 2009
 

The fastest of Core 2 Quad generation 3.2GHz clocked QX9770 is going to be retired in Q2 2009, and this CPU has already received PDN (Product Discontinuance Notice) in current month.

The last orders have to be placed shortly and as of end of Q2 2009 you wont be able to buy a Core 2 Extreme QX9770, at least not from Intel. The second CPU that faces retirement is Core 2 Extreme QX9650 and this 3.0GHz clocked and unlocked CPU also retires at the same time.

any enthusiast with spare money will go with Core i7 anyway, all others who are interested in pricing would never go for such a CPU ;)
