Intel in the present day commenced the method of discontinuation of the “Avengers Edition” SKUs of its 10th Generation Core “Comet Lake-S” desktop processors, by a product change notification (PCN). The stated PCN #117894-00 mentions December 16, 2020 as a standard date for all 4 key discontinuation milestones within the product’s lifecycle, specifically Product Discontinuation Support graduation, Last Product Discontinuance Order (the final alternative for distributors to put orders from Intel for), the date for these orders to turn into non-cancelable and non-returnable; and the date for the final order to ship. Normally, the latter two milestones are spaced 6 months and 12 months aside from the date of the product discontinuation PCN. To put this in easier phrases—and until the PCN does not have a typo with its dates—Intel is expeditiously discontinuing its 10th Gen Core “Comet Lake-S” desktop processors, marking them EOL (finish of life).
