Intel has announced that, starting today, three of their tenth generation core lines are to be retired – Comet Lake-U, Ice Lake-U and Lakefield.
Volker Risska of ComputerBase first reported that Intel would finish shipping the three product lines by April 2022. Intel’s Lakefield series was their first line to utilize Hybrid Technology. Once the Lakefield series is discontinued, consumers will have to wait until Alder Lake for hybrid supporting technology.
The reason for Comet Lake-U, Ice Lake-U and Lakefield lines being discontinued is due to technological advances in computing, making way for faster and more efficient CPUs to be readily available for consumers.
Volker Risska explains Intel’s Ice Lake-U beginnings.
Risska follows up by painting a picture of Lakefield as a failure to Intel’s product lines.
Intel launched Tiger Lake-U, their eleventh generation core CPU and the current top tier for Intel’s CPU lines. We recently reported about Intel unveiling Tiger Lake-U 10nm Refresh CPUs that included the Core i7-1195G7 and the Core i5-1155G7 and how Tiger Lake performs faster than AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800U APU.
Below are the current Tiger Lake-U products available:
