Intel kills off the last of the Cascade Lake Xeons

Rome conquered

Intel has pulled the plug on the last of its Cascade Lake Xeon processors after years of competition from AMD's EPYC Rome lineup.

Chipzilla had been slowly reducing the numbers of Cascade Lake SKUs but now it appears that the last of them have been consigned to the dust bin of time.

Cascade Lake replace Skylake in 2019 but was basically a pimped-up version of the earlier version.

The 14nm processors were available in different presentations, including Cascade Lake-X for the HEDT, Cascade Lake-W for workstations, and Cascade Lake-SP and Cascade Lake-AP for servers. In a new Product Change Notification (PCN), Intel has discontinued the company's Cascade Lake-X and Cascade Lake-W lineup.

Although Intel has announced the Cascade Lake-X and Cascade Lake-W discontinuation, customers can still order the 14nm chips as the discontinuance date is April 26, 2024, and Chipzilla will ship the Cascade Lake-X and Cascade Lake-W orders before January 31, 2025.

To be fair, Cascade Lake is the only archaeologically significant and part of Intel’s policy of halting the production of older products and redirecting the resources to focus on recent offerings, such as Sapphire Rapids.
