Production of Intel's 300 series chipset motherboards, including the H310, H370, Z370, and Z390 motherboards is officially coming to an end . Actual production will end in July of this year, and by the beginning of 2022 sales for the 300-Series chipset and its motherboards will end for Intel. This information also applies to Intel's 300-Series mobile chipsets like the QM370 that will also be retired at the same time.

This news comes just a month after Intel officially terminated its 9000-Series Core processors , codenamed Coffee Lake Refresh. With Intel already preparing to replace its Comet Lake parts with Rocket Lake this year, it makes sense to discontinue Coffee Lake and its associated chipsets; especially when the 9th gen parts really weren't that much different from Comet Lake-S besides having more threads (and more cores for the i9 SKUs). If for some reason you want a Coffee Lake chip, Micro Center has several Coffee Lake deals going on, like the Core i5-9600K at just $169.99 and the Core i7-9700K for $249.99 .
