Intel has announced that it is discontinuing the production of its 10th generation Ice Lake-U series CPU lineup. The news is a little surprising, especially given the fact that some of the CPUs have only been around for a little more than two years.
To be precise, the discontinuation of its 10th generation CPUs isn’t just limited to its Core series lineup, but also its Lakefield, Pentium, and Celeron lineup. The list of the affected CPUs is as below:
- Intel Core i3-10110U
- Intel Core i3-10210U
- Intel Core i5-10210U
- Intel Core i5-10310U
- Intel Core i7-10510U
- Intel Core i7-10610U
- Intel Core i7-10710U
- Intel Core i7-10810U
- Intel Core i3-1005G1
- Intel Core i5-1035G1
- Intel Core i5-1035G4
- Intel Core i5-1035G7
- Intel Core i7-1065G7
- Intel Core i3-L13G4
- Intel Core i5-L16G7
- Intel Celeron 5205U
- Intel Celeron 5805
- Intel Celeron 6805
As to why Intel is discontinuing its Ice Lake-U series, it is probably due to the fact that its current 11th generation Tiger Lake-U CPU series is obviously faster and more powerful. Due to their generally higher base and boost clocks.

On that note, manufacturers will still continue to accept orders for the listed CPUs until 22 October. After that, the last batch of these processors will then be sent off by 29 April 2022. Exceptions to the rule are the Core i7-10810U, Core i7-10610U, Core i5-10310U, and Celeron 5205U. Orders for these CPUs will still be fulfilled until 28 January 2022, and the final batch to be shipped out by 29 July the same year.
