Intel Issues Product Discontinuance Notice for Seven Merom Chips

Posted January 29, 2008 8:15 AM

From Engadget:

Oh, Merom. It felt like just yesterday that we were shaking our heads in disappointment after reading lackluster reviews and wondering when you'd finally make an appearance in Apple's MacBook Pro.

Yes, Intel are off to faster and better things, so they cannot be expected to continue with Merom development.

I'm not sure why the Merom lineup should "end up at Maui", but no doubt the folks in Hawaii will find a driftchip heap of them washed up on the beach one day.

Kind Regards....
