Intel keeps the Core i7 920 into 2010

After rumors that Intel would phase out the Core i7 920, a new leaked roadmap contradicts that. Core 2's are going away starting 2010.

The above roadmap states that Intel will be selling the Core i7 920 for the whole of 2009 and into, at least, the third quarter of 2010. These are good news, as the higher end Core i7 for LGA 1156 socket is not a very impressive processor for it's price.

Intel will be phasing out the current Core 2 lineup starting in 2010, in favor of the "Clarkdale" based Core processors, which feature an integrated graphics core, two cores and Hyper Threading support.
