Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge-E Processor Pops Up on Ebay

Intel isn’t formulation to launch a Sandy Bridge-E array of processors until after this year, though if we absolutely, positively, really want to get your hands upon one, come ruin or tall water, there’s a possibility we can squeeze one. That is, if you’re peaceful to partial with around $1,400 (with shipping) in sell for a CPU that won’t fit in any of your motherboards.
The overpriced processor is up for grabs upon Ebay as well as is advertised as an “ES Model Q19D” chip. The ‘ES’ stands for Engineering Sample, that have been pre-production chips Intel uses for harmony checks and/or to denote a technology. ES chips have been typically loaned out to OEMs as well as hardware reviewers, as well as not done accessible to a ubiquitous public. You can review some-more about Engineering Samples here.
As advertised, this a single sports 8 cores (16 with Hyperthreading) clocked during 1.6GHz, 20MB of common cache, 6.4GT/s, as well as a 130W TDP. And since it’s an Engineering Sample, it’s many expected an unbarred chip. It’s an LGA2011 part, definition we can’t essentially operate it until Sandy Bridge-E motherboards have it to market.
Based upon new leaked roadmaps, Intel will launch a Sandy Bridge-E height in a fourth entertain of this year
