With Broadwell almost on the market and Skylake on the horizon, the US chip maker Intel has retired several Core i3 and Pentium processors. All retired chips are based on the Haswell architecture.

The Core i3 Haswell family loses the Core i3-4340 (3.6 GHz, dual-core, 4 MB L3 cache, HT), the Core i3-4330 (3.5 GHz, dual-core, 4 MB L3 cache, HT), the Core i3-4130 (3.4 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache, HT), the Core i3-4330T (3.0 GHz, dual-core, 4 MB L3 cache, HT), and the i3-4130T (2.9 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache, HT) models. The Pentium family says farewell to the Pentium G3430 (3.3 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache), the Pentium G3420 (3.2 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache), the G3220 (3.0 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache) and the low-power G3420T (2.7 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache), G3240T (.7 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache) and G3220T (2.6 GHz, dual-core, 3 MB L3 cache) models.
