| | Intel To Pare Pentium D Dual-Core Lineup -- News -- InformationWeek |
 | | Production of the Pentium D models 830, 840, 930, and 940 will be discontinued by Dec. 15 of this year, the chip giant said in two "Product Change Notification" documents issued to its resellers. |
 | | The winnowing of the four older Pentium D models comes in the wake of the recent launch of Intel's new desktop Core 2 Duo processors, also known as "Conroe." The new chips use Intel's new Core microarchitecture, widely seen as its cleanest dual-core design to date. |
 | | When the 3.0-GHz Pentium D 830 and 3.2-GHz Pentium D 840 are discontinued, the 8XX line will still have its two lower-end, bargain options: the 2.66-GHz 805, which widely retails for about $110, and the 2.8-GHz 820, which sells for $120. |
