What is ES version CPU ~
Engineering samples are the beta versions of integrated circuits that are meant to be used for compatibility qualification or as demonstrators. They are usually loaned to OEM manufacturers prior to the chips commercial release to allow product development or display. Usually, they are picked out of a very large batch and perform correctly. However, rarely they may have faults that were fixed in the production model.
Some engineering samples have been put through strenuous tests. They are also offered on a technical loan to some full-time employees at Intel, and are usually desktop, mobile, server extreme edition processors.
