Where did the Intel chips go?
I'll admit I've been out of the loop for awhile, but someone asked me to build a system for them. For what they wanted to do, they needed CPU power, and little in the way of of GPU. So I was going to go with a quad core i7, but everywhere I look, they don't seem to be available any more. Newegg has no i7 processors. In fact, the i7 isn't even listed as an option on their site any more. I looked at Tiger Direct, but they list only one i7 model, and once their stock is gone I'm guessing that will be the end of it.
So what happened? I can't find anything particular on near future options that Intel is offering to replace it.

I swear, when I went there the other night, the i7 wasn't even an option! Maybe I'm just getting old and senile.

There are multiple I7's these days.
LGA2011 for enthusiast stuff (same socket as E5-26xx Xeons).
LGA1150 for consumer grade stuff (same socket as E3-12xx Xeons).
Big difference is 2011 is double the memory channels (4 instead of 2) and a lot more PCIe lanes off of the on-die PCIe controller, 40 vs. 16 for LGA1150.
That being said, I think you are getting old and senile. As am I for responding to this thread two weeks later.
