May 15, 201312 yr Just came across a site that listed the various HSW part numbers with ES Q-SPEC. Might be interesting for people who find engineering samples in the wild to identify what part they're dealing with. Website post is from December 23, 2012, by the way! PCH [*]QE8X = Q87 [*]QE8Y = Q85 [*]QE8Z = H87 [*]QE90 = Z87 [*]QE92 = B85 [*]QE91 = H81 Processor QD4C = ? 4c/4t QDE4 = 2.80GHz 4c/8t, B0 QDE5 = 2.60GHz 4c/8t QDE8 = 2.60GHz 4c/8t, B0, does not carry a product name, doesn't go over 30x on multi QE6S = Core i7 4770K (QS') QE6U = Core i7 4770 QE6V = Core i5 4670K QE6Z = Core i5 4670 QE70 = Core i5 4570 QE73 = Core i7 4770S QE74 = Core i5 4570S QE75 = Core i5 4670S QE77 = Core i5 4430S QE78 = Core i7 4770T QE79 = Core i5 4670T QE7A = Core i5 4765T QE7B = Core i5 4570T QE7D = Core i5 4430 QEH6 = Core i7 4770K (QS Prime) QG81 = Core i7 4790K QG84 = Core i5 4690K Source: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/PC_Shopping/M.1356228665.A.120.html Edited October 31, 201411 yr by Don_Dan adding info
May 15, 201312 yr Apparently the 7GHz valid was done with a QE6H or QEH6... The first seems to follow the naming convention but I'm not sure. The 4670K that I've used is a QE6V, so that's correct.
May 15, 201312 yr Author Fyi, there are three types of CPUs Engineering sample: testing different variables of the silicon, no product SKU in CPU-Z (like Gulftown A0) Qualification sample: testing the final version of the silicon, carries product SKU in CPU-Z (like all media samples) Retail sample: -duh- I assume all the question mark Q-SPEC QDxx have "genuine intel" as product name in CPU-Z? As a sidenote to this, I would like to advocate for allowing qualification samples to be used in all rankings. So, as long as there is a product SKU identifiable in CPUZ the processor sample is allowed in any HWBOT ranking. Anything that just carries the genuine intel naming scheme remains for the pros.
May 15, 201312 yr both QDxx's show "Intel CPU 0000" in CPU-Z 1.64 .. max multi is that of stock turbo multi.. so non-K as well *QDE4 = b0 as well
May 15, 201312 yr Author "Intel CPU 0000" is a string type like "genuine intel". It's quite simple: the chip does not carry a product sku name.

I fully support this proposition.

June 20, 201312 yr Author I would just like to add to this thread that it is not possible to go with the suggested policy because QE6S carries the exact same product string like QE6H, but is not the final version of the retail silicon. QE6S is a qualification sample but has fiVR related issues. QEH6 is the fixed QE6S and the final retail qualification sample spin. We can not distinguish a non-retail QS from a retail QS .

But we can ban all magic ES cpus ;] Magic QE6H ES are also much better than retails... so far is 20 days after the lauch day. Retails were binned by overclockers and vendors (for OCed computers by default) from 2-3 months. There is a reason why vendors like Asus had to lower def OC in computers So far best retail is 6.4 GHz SPI 1M? Not good.

So QEH6 ES presse sample are not allowed ? Just to be sure ?
July 13, 201312 yr QDE8 = 2.6GHz 4c/8t, B0, does not carry a product name, doesn't go over 30x on multi
