Broadwell-C Cancelled?

[GotNoRice]

Intel did confirm to me that the part was cancelled but would not give an official reason.

makes sense. It's difficult to get a 6700k but near impossible to get a 5775c

Oh well, I'll still wait for one to show up eventually.

It wouldn't really be "cancelled" as much as discontinued. The 5775-C has been available at a few retailers overseas for the last two weeks. It makes sense seeing as it's on the same process as Sky Lake. Why build two designs at once? It's just more work.

CORRECTION: Due to a reporting error, an earlier version of the story misidentified the product that has been retired. It is the Skylake-C and not the Broadwell-C that has been discontinued. Changes have been made throughout the story to reflect the change.

I can imagine... I've never even heard of a 5775c until just now.
