"Solch ein Chip kann auch nie abgekündigt werden, denn man kann das Design bei Bedarf auch in einen anderen Baustein "umtopfen"."
I'm not sure about the meaning of "abgekündigt" here.
The text is about customising processors for a small volume of production.
Danke!

The German-French KudoZ question http://www.proz.com/kudoz/780228 might be of help here - in your context, especially the def. provided by "MOS_Trans": "Abkündigen heißt ankündigen, dass ein Produkt in Kürze nicht mehr erhältlich sein wird. Ein insbesondere in der Computer-Welt verwendeter Begriff"

: I guess I have to agree (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/207238) however, I'd drop the announcement bit in this context - discontinued will do here IMHO.

: Do you have an explanation to go with this bold proposal? You may just be right, but it would be great if you could elaborate a little.

The creative use of "umtopfen" also suggests the writer is using a very liberal style & terminology. Do you have more context (what kind of chip it is that can't be "abgek�ndigt")?
