Ahem, QH is the stepping After QG, QG is retail Haswell... QH is the first broadwell stepping, Don't touch with a 10ft pole.

As this is pre-broadwell release, Intel will probably shut this down asap.

I would agree on staying away from anything this early. System vendors are also still getting their platforms working with new chips.

I don't know the manufacture date but I have seen the chips in an ES server from HP, I was quiet surprised they gave us the 18-cores so I assume the did a lot so early manufacture with these. Having said that these models are now some months old.

I had no issues with my ES but I did not check the stepping and I finished with what I needed to test so it's been returned now. (So although vendors are still getting them working then do work generally well, at least in what looked much like a gen9 dl380 board I looked at)

Saw one of these on Austin's Craigslist yesterday. I assumed it "fell out of the back of a server" over at Dell.

EDIT - Link for entertainment purposes.

I almost want to ask him for the proof he's willing to give local buyers, but I'm not in the mood to be questioned by the police at some point in the future.

Just purchased 2699v4 22 cores oem. If it is what it is then should be pretty beefy 88 thread number crunching machine.
