unreleased intel i7

[hellochicken]

Hello I recently saw a youtube video made by tech city called the 100 dollar skylake i7 where he talks about a unreleased processor which is called the QHQG and I was wondering If this would be a worthy buy for a new gaming build or would It be a risky and bad Idea I dont know as there is little to no info about these processors and their compatability with different motherboards and different graphics cards

on your own risk, the sample is unstable and might not be worth while in the long run.

If your near Sydney check gum tree, he usually tries to flog the stuff off there after he's done

oh i thought they were regular i7 processors  with different badges If this is the case I will most likely go with ryzen

please avoid it. it's an intel engineering sample CPU - illegal to resell. they could be unstable, broken, dead, etc, and you can only use specific motherboards.

best off getting a 6700 locked and a cheap board instead

yup that's the best idea, just remember if something is too good to be true it is. samples are cheap engineering units meant to be used for a short time.

Ok thanks I will follow the given guidelines

just some information - these processors were given to OEMs, motherboard manufacturers, etc in bulk and then stolen by disgruntled employees or shipped to fraudulent companies. buying one is supporting fraud up the supply chain.

yup i know and it sucks for everyone, engineers and employees lose jobs over this, its a moral gray area if you do buy it.

With some of the xeon es's it's a good value with some stablity issues.. but mainstream ES is a waste of time due to bad board compatiblity
