Intel Phasing Off 845, 865 Chipset Motherboards

Intel is actively promoting its 915 chipset motherboards while phasing out the 845 and 865-chipset mobos.
According to channel players, Intel is said to be phasing out the 845 and 865-chipset motherboards, after the earlier exit of the 2.66 Intel processor.
Kunal Hundia of Hundia Infotech, said, "The company is phasing out 845 and 865 chipset motherboards. The supply of both these products have become aberrant for almost one month now. Intel is perhaps trying to promote 915 motherboards now. In fact, 915 motherboards are getting cheaper than 845 and 865 mobos."
Champakraj Gurjar, managing director, Maxtone, said, "Both the motherboards were phased out in China and Taiwan around three to four months back. But in India, the motherboards are available in small quantity and is due to be phased out in two months' time."
The dealers are unanimous that phasing out 845 and 865 motherboards will not affect their business or sales at all. But it is certainly affecting the prices of both the motherboards.
Rajesh Jogani of Jogani Enterprises said, "In the last 15 days, the prices of both the motherboards have scaled up to 50 to 60 percent due to its shortage."
Sharing Jogani's opinion, Kantilal of Ramdev Computers said, "The 845- and 865-chipset motherboards used to earlier cost around Rs 2,600 and now they cost around Rs 3,000, which is a good Rs 400 rise in 15 days' time. On the other hand, 915 motherboard is much more cheaper costing Rs 2,300."
Gurjar also said that the elimination of these motherboards is because of constant upgradation of technology by Intel.

Competition is healthy for us. We should discourage any type of monoply. Intel & Microsoft have dictated the market for far too long. They should be made to feel the heat now. Believe me all of us would benefit. |

as per market info, intel has moved away from production of motherboards. they are using all their manufacturing capabilities at the moment focussed on centrino and mobile cpu due to upsurge in demand on these. hence original intel motherboards are in shortage.

Yes. I agree with you. Intel is currently going through a rough phase. All this because of their attitude. AMD really beat them with Opteron in Servers, Athlon 64 in Desktops and Turions in Mobile. IT Industry speculations are that, Intel can only overtake AMD performance lead by 2009. By then it will long since AMD capatilise the market. In Q4 October sales in US, AMD has out numbered Intel in retail business. This is huge guys. I think we should put a stop to Intel monopoly.....AMD we are with u..

You are talking about 845 and 865 motherboard being phased out, the recent announcement from Intel if you are aware is Intel has announced End of Life for D915 Motherboards, and the future will be Dual Core and 945, 950 chipsets combination, and there will no Intel original Motherboard 915 production with Intel chipsets, thus Intel is comming out with ATI Redeon chipsets, due to Intel production constrains. any comment ? |

It seems that intel people dont believe in platform stability coz what is new now is made obsolete by intel in 2 months. Add to it the steep pricing of Intel products. No wonder people have started looking for other options like AMD |
