Go for qs, way better than Es. Qs is same as OEM cpu, its given for review to jewtube people, qs also have the full cpu name and not "Intel 0000 cpu" as name, frequency is the same as OEM cpu, Es can have lower freq/turbo. Its legal to buy. Unless you're a company if Intel finds out you will be in trouble.

Are they cherry picked now or not? With proof please.

it's just a gamble with your money, it may have some gay bug in it somewhere that only triggers with your specific use case.

You can own them but Intel and AMD both do not like people selling them because they wont be recognized properly by OSes and so they run worse than intended. They're usually sold by chinese scammers trying to pass them off as the finished versions.
Lincoln Kelly
Intel says no to selling them, but does not prevent you from buying them, but if you got them without being the supposed owner do not expect support from them.

>there were few people who got arrested for selling them
I'd like to see that

>So, is it legal to buy these kinds of CPUs?
No.
>However, there were few people who got arrested for selling them
Probably, because they broke contract/nda, or whatever.
You can buy them, and sell them as long as you didn't sign any contracts that forbids you to do so.
Liam Young
>.No
Meant yes, you can buy them legally.

Why would it be illegal to buy something from its seller?
Brandon Sullivan
I see, just a retard.

The people selling them to you probably signed agreements saying they wouldn't sell them on so they're the ones who'll get in shit, you should be in the clear. But IANAL and for all I know there's some little known anti-counterfeit-goods law or other inane nonsense that covers it.

what feeling are you trying to convey with this image ?

>Is it legal to buy an engineering sample Intel CPUs?
Yes, if they're selling them, why not?
James Miller
how do you know if you have an engineering sample?
Lucas Diaz
it usually says es on the ihs, or in cpuid.
