#134391 - End of the 8051?
From Jack Ganssle's The Embedded Muse 142:

Last Buy
--------
Intel, the company that launched the embedded systems industry with
their four-bit 4004 in 1971, has announced the end-of-life for most
of their embedded processors. The MCS51, MCS251, MCS96, 80X18X,
80X386, 80X486, and i960 will no longer be available. Last buy is
March 30, 2007, with final shipments made by September 28.

A lot of folks use these parts. The good news is that this
obsolescence will lead to more design work and full employment for embedded developers! [In your dreams, Jack.]
