ir_cow Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Last I heard ES chips are illegal to sell and intel can come after you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoprobe Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Last I heard ES chips are illegal to sell and intel can come after you. Technically you're right but Intel doesn't bother with it because to them it's not worth the hassle. I've sold them before. Usually put them up on fleabay but listed it here and other sites because fleabay is getting into the gouge range with their fees and they're just a PITA to deal with anymore.

gebraset Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 If it's technically illegal to sell it, and you are admitting that fact, then it sounds like this thread needs to be locked and the chip needs to be kept by you or sent back to Intel or something. "Engineering samples are early versions of new technology sent out to OEMs and reviewers for testing purposes, and remain the property of Intel. They are usually sent to OEMs in order to assist in the development of compatible products, or for display purposes. They are not for sale, and anyone selling them is technically stealing them to do so." http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2012/2012010401_Four_engineers_arrested_for_selling_Intel_ES_chips.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 If it was sold to him then the reality is that the previous owner is the culprit here. He probably did not know it was an ES when it was purchased. That being said.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoprobe Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Gang I appreciate the concern but I checked with a mod before posting this and was told there was no problem. Intel says that it's not "legal" to sell them but the reality is they don't care. Just look at the hundreds for sale on E-bay.

Waco Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I wish I had a reason to throw more cores into my NAS. Sadly, 4 cores/8 threads is enough. Anyone who encodes though, this is beyond what you can buy on the consumer (i7) market and priced extremely well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
