Intel gives a recommended customer price of $1389 - $1393 for these processors, yet I commonly see them selling (as new) for < $300. I also see quite a few of them around the Intel recommended price as well though.
For example, here's (what appear) to be the same two processors, selling for drastically different prices, from the exact same seller:
www.ebay.com/itm/191563968670 (new E5-2660 V2 for $1285)
www.ebay.com/itm/191843684343 (new E5-2660 V2 for $260)
Is there something different between these two processors? Is there something wrong with certain E5-2660 V2 processors (e.g. some sort of manufacturing flaw or something)?
I remember awhile back a bunch of E5-2670s flooding the market, driving the price way down, but I thought those were all heavily used / from a big company (might have been Facebook) upgrading their infrastructure.
Thanks
