Environment

Intel® Xeon® Processors

Description

Trying to acquire an engineering sample of Intel® Xeon® Processors from Intel.

Resolution

Due to the pre-production nature of engineering sample processors, they are generally only loaned to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers), and ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) for pre-production test and evaluation work under specific contractual terms and conditions to assure the protection of assets and confidential information.

  • Engineering sample processors are not made available to the general public by Intel.
  • OEMs, ODMs, and ISVs may reach out to their Intel account representative regarding sample availability.
  • If you do not know who your representative is, contact your company's purchasing or procurement department.

Contact your vendor, supplier, or place of purchase if you have received an engineering sample processor in place of a production processor.

Intel recommends purchasing production processors through Intel® Authorized Distributors, Suppliers, or Resellers.
