    I went for a 12 core E5-2670 v3. I look forward to having TWO X99 systems to babysit constantly

    Trust me, I've been crunching for Prime numbers for more than 15 years. Please make a test running this number 5*2^5000000-1, starting with one core and increasing LLR instances until you reach 28 instances. Check LLR speed decrease as you increase the number of instances. For more you can read at mersenneoforum.org.

    TBH I haven't run any LLR for a very long and I'm too tied up with other projects to do it now. At some time in the future I'll try LLR on these and see what happens then post back what I find. I think one of us will be surprised.

These Engineering Samples are not meant to be sold and technically are property of Intel. The sellers are in Japan, and have very good seller ratings. Other than no warranty and possible felony charges, any down side to these chips? This E5-2658 v3 retails for $1700+... and the ES chip is going for about $300 on ebay:

    On the engineering samples. Of the 5 or so CPUs I've seen or been in possession of that were bought from the employee program/store they all said intel confidential on them. Their usually early process runs that were run in RnD fab and not a high volume. After engineering checks the batch out and they move onto their next project, they sell them at the employee store at a ridiculously good price, or you can get like 1 free per year.. maybe.

    I believe Tankmaster is a blue badge, he could probably check on your legal status of owning one. but I'm quite certain intel is okay with it unless it's a model that's not for sale, then maybe you could be in trouble. If JP is correct the seller on ebay is the bad boy, you're just an unknowing customer that thinks he's getting a great deal on a super duper chip from overseas.
