I purchased a CPU off of E-Bay that was listed as a QX6700 socket 775 CPU. What I got was a CPU that has "Intel Confidential" stamped on it and the following info:

QQMM ES A4
HH80562PH0678M
L625A65W

How do I find out what type of CPU it is?

I've heard Intel sometimes offer rewards for returning these test samples.

What you have is a ES (engineering sample) thats normally only given out to test sites. Normally it will be a bit better than retail and you might want to contact Intel.

The last guy who got one was trying to get the same CPU you were trying to get but got a ES one and when he contacted Intel ended up getting a QX6850 if I remember correctly which was not even out for public yet. So contact Intel and see what they say.

That sounds like an engineering sample.If so,the multiplier is probably unlocked and you'll be able to overclock the heck out of it.INTEL may give you a decent CPU in return for it,but think of the clock rates you should be able to get out of it.Goodluck.

^Its a QX anyways which means it would have a unlocked multiplier even if it wasn't a ES chip.

cool, never heard of something like this before.

the cpu couldve been thrashed in some overclocking test. email intel and ask what chip you'll get in return, you may end up with much better cpu.
