Hey everyone,

I moved last year to China and, China being China, I'm finding a lot of engineering samples of Intel Xeons on the market place. What does this mean? Well, I can get my hands on a E5-2618L V4 for 217 US$ or a E5-2683 V4 for 332!! US$. Engineering samples are of course not supposed to be sold, but meh, I'm not complaining :p

Is there any technical reason why I shouldn't jump on any of these?

Thx.
