Anyone have for sell 2x E5-2679 v4 ?
Hello LET community , so we have a customer with wired fetish for this CPU Model , and we don't found anyone on internet to sell, just on china
I'm just curious , have anyone from here 2x CPUs E5-2679 v4 of this model on SUA or Europe? For sell?
Thanks for help!

Are you sure its not 2697 v4? This is a relatively common cpu
That is certainly a rare CPU to find, could only find 1 listing on eBay (2 available) at and nothing from any of our suppliers: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203850561856

No
I'm ask customer 3-4x times , this it's https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/91751/intel-xeon-processor-e5-2679-v4-50m-cache-2-50-ghz.html that it's cause why I'm opened a thread here , In the last week I searched all over the internet for a similar CPU, they exist but are rarer than diamonds
Regards
Would an eBay item work for you:
Did you ask him if a E5-2699v4 or E5-2698v4 would be fine also?
They seem to have slightly more power and consume a bit less electricity (based in the TDP)
Seems to be quite rare and therefore expensive
Hello , yes , but he don't want
SUA ?
I'd be skeptical of this kinda of client tbh. Maybe he is the one seller on ebay trying to magic up demand.
Careful from China, import duty and VAT are ~40%.
... of the value declared on the customs module.
is not so hard to tell what does he mean from the context.
SUA = USA = United States of America
Or https://www.sua.rm.dk = Special area Developmental disabilities, I am sure they have an offer for him, but if it mean USA:
https://www.m4l.com/search.php?search_query=e5+2679+v4&section=product
https://www.ebay.de/itm/355670430403 is pretty much the cheapest offer anywhere on global ebay at €550.56.
Then there's another 3 Chinese sellers at €561.80:

https://www.ebay.nl/itm/385623330588
https://www.ebay.nl/itm/144476422162
There's 2 guys taking offers though:
https://www.ebay.nl/itm/203850561856
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256172452521
Or you might put in $3000 and get a whole Dell server with these and 256GB RAM:

Not necessarily VAT as long as the seller doesn't fuck up Ebay's IOSS system (which obviously no China seller ever would... /s). Still above 150€(?) or for commercial shipments(?) there's also import duties. I've never bothered to look into what those are (i just stay below the 150€ :P) but i wouldn't be surprised if that would add another ~20%.
Like i've said above i also wouldn't trust those China sellers to add the needed IOSS information but in that case at least around here it's possible to get the additional VAT payment back (it's obviously a hassle though and the handling fee charged by the postal service is also pretty much non-refundable - only option seems to be to take it to a Paypal claim, which then claws the pointless fee back from Ebay, which might or might not be the brightest idea in the long run).
As far as Ebay's global shipment program is concerned my experience has been pretty positive though. It's just that for China it seems to be either not available at all or those sellers generally opt out of it to price dump the shipping costs...
This cpu seems to be very rare, I saw it being sold on Taobao in China for 4500 RMB equivalent to 579 euros.
whats so special about this cpu?
It's antique.
That honestly sounds scummy is fuck. The guy wouldn't even see nor necessarly benefit for having the chip on a random server. Like @james50a said, I'd bet he's trying to sell his shitty chips. If he wants a custom server, he should just buy and colo it.
Yeah, there's pretty much a whole hand full of CPUs in that class which are extremely similar or just straight up better.
Like for example 2696v4 is a direct upgrade (2 more cores + better single/multi core performance - interestingly despite lower clockrate... 2679v4 doesn't really seem all that great after all) while costing way less:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256493949929 ~200€ (Australia)
https://www.ebay.de/itm/404660919067 ~€180 (China)
https://www.ebay.at/itm/265582897470 ~200€ (Germany)
https://www.ebay.de/itm/235510339867 ~200€ (Germany)
and that's just a quick search on a single practical alternative... 2699A: even almost matches the clockrate and it's still cheaper and more powerful, 2698: almost identical with just a bit less multicore performance and more singlecore at ~150€. The request really doesn't make a lot of sense.
The only somewhat normal explanation is that guy is just going by raw GHz of which 2679 has 0.1 - 0.3 more than the comparable options (while still mostly being slower in the end...). I think @Calin should just deploy a 2696/2699A and tell the guy to quit being a princess
Hm, a very old cpu. Just offer amd for the customer.
Say out of stock ,,🥳
I’ve come across a similar situation once when I was still working in the industrial automation sector. One of the PCs that was controlling a part of the machine broke down and it appeared to be the CPU. This specific CPU was also hard to find because the PC was already 10 years old at the time. I suggested to swap out the entire PC for something more recent but I was told we could not; the machine was certified with this exact setup. Swapping the PC or even changing the CPU type would mean the entire machine would have to be re-certified. I wish I was joking but legal told me this was really the case. If something were to happen with the machine afterwards, the customer could blame it on the incorrect CPU type and even in case of liability insurance could be waived as well… So yes, we also resorted to second hand markets and new-old stock sellers and paid a hefty price. It was a learning opportunity as well, since iirc the company kept at least one CPU type in stock of each PC that were bundled with their machines lol.
Coming back to this topic; there was also a software lock. Even if you ignored the legal aspect, the software wouldn’t boot if the CPU type wouldn’t exactly match. So maybe Calin’s customer is in a similar type of situation….
Interesting
Apparently this particular is a chip made specifically for eBay servers that were liquid-cooled.. It's overclockable and has a higher TDP.
That's quite interesting. I kinda wonder how much sense this would make in a normal setup though. Unless he builds the thing himself (obviously not - he wants @Calin to do that) and somehow takes care of the extra heat he won't have that much fun overclocking and even then i can't imagine he'd get that much of an edge over the alternatives being more powerful by default or god forbid some... recent CPU... shudder.
It's @FlorinMarian trolling @Calin into buying wierd shit with fake requests.
