Pics of my cpu. each cpu comes individually sealed in a static bag... so definitely some works to do for the 200 cpu sold... pins are not the cleanest.... a few scratches on the lids but works so far... going to run some more benchmarks....working so far,,,,
The all popular must have numbers from cinebench r15 
tested on lenovo d30
Verdict: with the current price of e5-2690 v2 right now at $245 or less, this 2695 v2 is basically same multicore performance as e5-2690 v2 for half the price.....
or with dual cpu basically 90% of 1950X TR multithread performance for 50% of 1950X (current price $470)
Check out where 2695 v2 falls compared to a few other cpus i've tested

That is really nice perforance for the price my e5-2697v2s (280 each) get between 3020-3105 on cinibench 15 (phase of the moon? I have never benn able to figure out the variance)..so 2700ish fot 100-120 each is a FANTASTIC value!The all popular must have numbers from cinebench r15

Packed pretty good... Air ship to aus will def be a little expensive ...Anyone who bought a pair from the ohio seller can tell me how it was packed? Living in australia meaning I'll need to use a shipping forwarder as that seller doesnt ship here
so first ohio link is sold out again with 300 cpu moved. 2nd ohio link for $150 (but people had been able to get BO as low as $100) is still up.... If anyone still want this, better get on it....lol
I wonder how did this seller got that many cpu? i am thinking he probably got about 500+ cpu? with dual cpu server, that would be at least 250 machines? that's like at least a whole big truckload wotth of servers if not more?
Also shouldn't a truckload of ddr3 and other accessories come with this? I was hoping he would put up a fire sale of ddr3 and other things too...

btw, didn't know if anyone else notice that the i7-8550U is actually the fastest single core cinebench on the cpu list i tested? it's a laptop part btw...... crazy eh?

I think it's a mistake... There's no way a U CPU is #1.
I waited too long. I knew I should have picked up a pair this morning before work. Last I checked they had 50+ left. Crossing my fingers more get listed at the same price.
just retest my laptop with the i7-8550u again and it did get 167 for cinebench single core mark again..... It got up to 4.0ghz
..... so yes, the 8th gen U part is actually very good for single core as well as being not too bad for the multicore for a laptop... IMO if you don't have to have the xeon mobile or H mobile cpu, the 8th gen U part is actually very fast for single core and well as being not that bad for multicore... and also get fairly decent battery life as long as they didn't jack people with a tiny low capacity battery like in a lot of the budget laptop.

That's expected, it's Kaby Lake after all, and they boost like crazy in single-core load scenarios. At 4 GHz it should be about the same as that Haswell at 4.4 GHz. Sounds about right. That's why I got Threadripper for my main desktop instead of using these Ivy Bridge Xeons.. They're great for servers and some special use workstations, but their single-thread performance is noticeably lagging even behind an overclocked TR (which is no IPC monster either). And Skylake+ cores are faster still. There's just too many applications that don't care for 24 cores per system, a few faster cores do way better than a lot of slower ones.btw, didn't know if anyone else notice that the i7-8550U is actually the fastest single core cinebench on the cpu list i tested? it's a laptop part btw...
yeah i was really surprised to see the i7-8550u took the cinebench single core lead.... but it was also nice to see that it has about equivalent multicore as my i7-2600k....not bad for a laptop....
The other thing to notice is 2696 v3 single core is actually not that bad..

Color me surprised. Thanks for repeating it.
I received my 2 CPUs from the original seller and they looked fine except for the fact someone with really dirty hands packaged them. The bottom of the CPU, contacts side, had black fingerprints but it was easily removed via a cutip and some rubbing alcohol. Everything looks fine in booting them up in my new motherboard.
