I guess it was expected with Intel launching the 10th gen recently.
Taken from TPU…. Intel issued a product change notification (PCH) announcing the discontinuation of its 9th Gen Core X series “Skylake-X” HEDT processors in the LGA2066 package; in addition to at least 10 Xeon W-2000 series workstation processors that are based on a similar IP. Discontinuation involves several steps, the first of which is the discontinuation announcement, which is dated July 9, 2020.
The last orders for these chips will be taken on January 22, 2021, which are non-cancellable and non-returnable (for distributors, end-users are still protected by product warranties and consumer laws regardless of when they buy the processor). The last orders ship before July 9, 2021.
