Content Type: Product Information & Documentation   |   Article ID: 000039541   |   Last Reviewed: 10/19/2024

Environment

Intel's product specifications page lists an Intel® Xeon® Processor's Status as Launched. There's no Product Change Notification document available regarding the processor's Product Discontinuance.

Description

Intel® Xeon® Processor's discontinuance date isn't known.

Resolution

The discontinuance of an Intel® Xeon® Processor varies by product family. 

The Embedded Options Available feature indicates products that offer extended purchase availability for intelligent systems and embedded solutions. An Intel® Xeon® processor with Embedded Options Available will generally have a much longer availability after the processor's launch date than processors that don't have Embedded Options.

To check a processor's launch date and whether Embedded Options are available:

  1. Go to Intel's product specifications page
  2. Search and open the technical specifications for the processor that you are interested in. For example, search for Xeon Gold 6520.
  3. Check the Launch Date, which will list the quarter and year.
  4. Scroll down to the Supplemental Information section and check whether Embedded Options Available is Yes or No.
Note: 

For detailed dates of Intel® Processors discontinuance, please visit Changes in Customer Support and Servicing Updates for Select... (intel.com).

Intel product discontinuance will be communicated as a Product Change Notification (PCN) document, which is posted to the Intel® Quality Document Management System (Intel® QDMS) website.
