Alleged Skylake-EP on sale at eBay
Paul Taylor May 2, 2017 CPU, Server, Tech News




If you want to get your hands on some prime Intel server rib, then you can head along to eBay and check this matched pair of what the seller is claiming to be Skylake-EP processors, or as they describe it, an “Intel Xeon E5-2600 v5” CPU.

The heatspreader is engraved with the markings “Intel Xeon P 8136” as well as the sSpec and speed rating. The “P 8136” part sounds suspiciously like the recent naming change to Xeon server parts (now tiered as Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze). Although we hadn’t heard of a P 8136, it does follow the Intel naming logic.

This matched Xeon pair, claims the seller, is for the 28-core model, 2 GHz CPUs, with 38.75 MB total cache (at least 28MB of which are part of the L2 cache), and a TDP of 165W each. They can be yours for a cool $3750, each.



The seller does offer full disclosure about the matched pair of CPUs, though. First off, they are not ES (engineering samples) nor QS (qualification samples) of the CPU, they are final release of a previously unreleased CPU, presumably OEM. Second, best of luck finding an LGA3647 motherboard for them. Third, the seller wants you to engage in some mild banter explaining what use you’ll give them, before selling you the CPUs, legitimately arguing he doesn’t want any returns by people who bought it and found they don’t have a motherboard to fit it on.

Why would you ever get this? $3k each?

It doesn't matter that there's a s-spec. If motherboard BIOS microcode don't support it, it's useless.

For $300 worth a go perhaps but nowhere near this price when you can buy retail.

Maybe @Patrick will share his ES experience on Skylake?

Yes there are motherboards out for these, has been for a few months now. I reviewed a SM board not long ago and 4 more in the lab now. Patrick has a bunch in the DC also.

Those big 28 core chips can be as mush as $10K each retail. Enterprise is getting crazy !

Will AMD bring some sense and reasonable price to it or will they also join the craziness?

It could be a re-etched ES or a oem only model... It is also probably hot.

I dont see how that thing can really be worth $3k...the performance doesnt justify that price

Linus (Sebastian, not Torvalds) got a pair of these:

5700 cine r15 is not bad... got 4300 with my dual 2696 v3. but my dual 2696 v3 is only $1300 for both cpu. so if hes paying $6k for those dual skylake then not worth it,,,
