Intel informed its channel partners in Taiwan that it plans to stop manufacturing four desktop-use Pentium D processors (model numbers 830, 840, 930 and 940) by the end of 2006, according to channel sources.

The latest date to accept orders for these four Pentium D CPUs is set on December 15, 2006, with the latest delivery to be done on March 9, 2007, the sources said, noting that Intel also promised help distributors in clearing inventories.

In the retail chain we have also been informed of this... so I guess it must be true! :p

It is

Guessing no, as these are only 4 models (for example, it doesn't mention the dual core 945 model, which Intel are actually re-releasing with some fixes next month)

Edit: and the article mentions they are releasing a new Pentium D 925

If I were in control I would cut all production immediately and focus on Core 2 Duo! But hey, I guess there will be a lot of moms and grandpa's still buying up these systems.

That would be nice, but they still have people using older boards that don't support Core 2 processors. You also have Dell, HP etc that have tons of motherboards that are no good for Core 2 as well.
