[EriKana]

This CPU is basically an OEM version of a, E5-2694 v4, same clock and core count, I don't know of any meaningful difference between the two CPUs. 4 Available for $99 each here Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 SR2K8 2.30GHz 45MB 18-Core LGA2011-3 CPU Processor | eBay
$10-39 cheaper than a 2697 v4

FYI they are not equivs, they are nerf'd. Source: had one. But -- hwinfo will tell you that it is actually a 2697v4, despite speed spec not matching up. Everything else screams 2686v4

So fakes?

Nah, just Intel making weird SKUs for specific customers with slightly tweaked specs. There's a few different ones, like the 2696v4, that are also similar to other SKUs but slightly lower or higher clocks and/or TDP. v3 also had a bunch of SKUs meant for DDR3 (like 2678v3, which was a 2680v3 but for DDR3). wikichips and a few other sites have better documentation on them.

Gotcha. Pretty interesting to see these in the wild then since they must have been upgraded.
