Never released to production so it’s possible there may be qualifying es chips out there.
Never seen one myself.
Thanks, it'd be nice to find the official fastest clocked version even if the E8600 already is quite capable to reach those freqs even if I don't usually like overclocking old components anyway. 😉
To be fair if it’s anything like the QX9770 it’ll already be overclocked silicon and likely won’t have a ton of extra room over the E8600.
Also being an ES chip it’s likely not as fast as a production model or will require BIOS mods to get it running.
Would still be nice to have 😀
