the guy has been selling ES 820s for a while, but wow a 65nm chip on ebay this early is a little different.

Nice. But it's not a 2.8GHz Dual-core Opteron, so meh.

Looks a little bogus.

For a sart CPU-z reports it as either 2.8 or 2.4 depending on the screen and the core is a Fresler.
It ain't worth $600 not now, not ever.

Edit: Although these could be issues with CPU-z

Anyone that only takes money orders on these kind of items would not get my business. Especially overseas

Or the "Fresler" thing could be due to horrific and readily apparently jpeg artifacts present on the screenshot.
It is odd that the SS's only show 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz, I would assume they're linked to Speedstep to reduce power consumption, but then I would expect a SS showing full speed (3.4GHz) as well, rather than just the lower frequencies.

So which fool here will soon be parted with their money...

Someone is about to be swindled out of a lot of dough. I have long learned not to pay money order on an auction over seas, and paying to someone in TW is just asking for trouble.

lol .. i would never by a Intel in its current state i was kidding, however i still get piad tomorrow

yeah, its definitely the jpeg compression that changed it from P -> F, just look at the cut off on the FSB and Bus Speed. does the family/model/stepping match?

hmmmm... 30+ feedback, and selling high end items, its like playing roulette!

 

[Markfw]

I wouldn;t anyway. I am already over 3.4 on my 820d, and it get its ass handed to it by a $400 Opteron OR a $322 X2 3800+. Even if it OC'ed to 4 ghz, the Opteron would still beat it, run cooler, and take a lot less power.

I think he's legit in selling these. He's been selling ES Opterons/Pentium's/and SPARC's, from his other listings. Probably works for one of the major motherboard OEM's and "snagged" a few working samples. Either way its still sneaky.

I call SHENS!

 

[hans007]

he has a few positive feedbacks from sparc processors.

and he has a lot of other ES chips. i would not doubt he is legit. I wouldn't pay $630 shipped for a p4 950 myself, (i dont have that kind of cash), but well its definitely an alternative to say buying a pentium d 840 ...

A $322 X2 3800 is a better alternative to either of those.......

well im not trying to start some amd vs. intel war, but yeah thats probably true, though you'd probably still need a 4200 or 4400 though to really be competitive with a 950.
