Intel has popped a cap into its elderly HEDT or High End Desktop CPUs and motherboard chipsets. Yup, Cascade Lake-X and the X299 chipset that support it are goners according to new Product Discontinuation Notices (PCNs) from Intel.
Cascade Lake-X, of course, dates back to 2019. As its 10th Gen nomenclature implies, the Intel Core i9 10980XE Extreme Edition CPU (and its three other Cascade Lake-X siblings) was based on pretty ancient tech being a light revision of ye olde Skylake.
