3 years agoNobody can tell you this in public that knows what they are talking about.
Intel might give you some info, but only under strict NDA.
Even then there are a lot of caveats, customer order volume being the main criteria.
Intel will phase out parts when the orders dry up or it becomes not possible to produce the part at a profit.
Or maybe the technology becomes obsolete and the fab shuts down.
For any critical parts in your product you are wise to use multiple sourced parts when possible.
