Starting Q4 2009
According to AMD plans revealed to its special somebodies, plans reaching all the way to Q3 2010, many Phenom II X4 quads will be discontinued in late 2009 to second half of 2010. As of Q4 2009 AMD will announce last order for some Phenom II X4 models and some of them will have its last shipment already in Q2 2010.

This is due to the fact that AMD also plans to launch a revised Phenom II X4 (Deneb 45nm) quad-core that will have lower thermals and will allow higher clocks.

First to die is Phenom II X4 910 clocked at 2.6GHz and powered with 8MB cache that will get to last order status already in Q4 2009 with last shipment planned two quarters later, Q2 2010.

Phenom II X4 925 at 2.8GHz clock and 8MB of total cache and 95W TDP will get to last order status in by late Q1 2010 and final shipments are slated for Q3 2010.

Phenom II X4 945 with 125W TDP receives final order tag in Q4 2009 and final shipments should happen in Q2 2010. The Phenom II X4 925 with 95W will continue to live beyond Q3 2010.

Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz 125W TDP receives the last order tag in Q2 2010 and final orders are scheduled to ship two quarters after. It will be replaced in Q2 2010 with 95W version that can support the same clock.

Last but not least the Phenom II X4 965 with 140W TDP and 3.4GHz clock gets last order status in Q1 2010 and stops shipping two quarters later. It should get replaced in Q2 2010 by a 125W version.

Its hardly bad news. And most of them are not even being discontinued.. merely being replaced with newer steppings with lower TDP.

I'm guessing the lower-end models that do get 'discontinued' are most likely going to be replaced by the higher models for the same price.
 
Not as bad as I thought before I read this completely.
BTW , is there any new processors that AMD are going to release ? Somthing that would beat the i7? for good..
 
^^They won't beat i7 or will offer more performance. Its just a new stepping C3. which offers lower TDP and higher OC potential. Some user (business class C3 CPU are out ) reports 4ghz stable on stock OC .

The 965 will debut with 125W, 955 with 95 and significantly lower for other models. The Phenom II X6 will be 140W that is what we can conclude from above :P
