 Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2018 2:52 pm Post subject: Intel Auburndale QGFK |
 |
|
I'm new to CPU collecting, and I was wondering what makes the Intel Auburndale "rare." Is it because it was unreleased? I found one for $50, and I'm not sure if that's a good price or not.
This particular CPU has the Qspec QGFK. That's all I know, along with it having two cores. Can anyone provide a bit more information on this processor if possible?
Thanks! |

I would think it's that price because of being a sample for an unreleased core.

I would suggest buying it asap if you want it, as now you have posted enough info for anyone to find it, it may not be available for long.
Now sure what platform or motherboard/laptop will let you potentially test a PGA989 CPU though, if that interests you.

Two dies on Arrandale/Auburndale are completely different: shorter die is CPU, longer is GPU and memory controller.
There are no reasons they should be the same size.
It's interesing that die size of this sample is quite close to size of CPU die of Auburndale.
Can it be quad core made of two dual core 45 nm dies?
Not sure because then die must be larger by the size of memory controller.
Exact die size measurement would be helpful. |

| Hello, I am a CPU collector in China. Please forgive my poor English. I also have a CPU like this, and I don't know what type it is. I originally wanted to buy a i7 CPU Q2CZ, and the shop owner was out of stock, so she gave me this one, 3 dollars. I don't have a PGA989 test machine, so I can't test it either. I think it should be a first generation Auburndale i7 CPU, just like i7 Q2CZ. |

Oh what, you have one, a QGFK? I know this ain't the right thread for this, but would you be willing to sell that Auburndale?
I saw a PGA989 motherboard for sale on eBay for $20. Not sure what else you'd need to get the Auburndale running besides a suitable PSU. |

Yes,I have a QGFK CPU and I'm asking if there's any more. The seller says there may be more, but now it's National Day holiday (10.1-10.6), and it will take a few days to make sure. He said none of the CPUs worked properly, and I think he didn't use the right motherboard so he couldn't turn it on properly.
It is very difficult to collect CPUs in China, seldom sells them in China, and it is too expensive to buy them abroad. International freight will be very very high..... |

Hey, so I just got one of these recently, and I've noticed that there isn't much concrete info on these chips, aside from the eBay listings claiming them to be auburndale chips.
It turns out there were HM55-based laptops with a mPGA989 socket.
I am working on repairing an Asus G60JX laptop with one of these sockets. I'm waiting on a replacement board (as the current one is completely cooked), but I'm planning to test my QGFK in the system.
I'll reply with results.
Has anyone else tried this yet? I'm unsure on how "rare" these chips are, as the eBay listings were present for quite awhile now (rougly half a year or so)
Also, I find it interesting that there are no surfact-mount components on the bottom of the chip. Could this mean that these units are only mechanical/thermal samples rather than full processors? |

I got the machine (almost) working today. Turns out the GPU was bad. Oh well.
I got the board to kinda post with the i5 it originally came with. When I installed the QGFK chip, the machine would power on then immediately turn off. With the i5, it would power on and remain on.
I suppose this could mean the chip is not working silicon, or just incompatible with the H55M chipset. |

Immediately turning on and off is usually either a short, or Intel ME precenting startup. If you're willing to invest in an ch341a spi flasher, you may be able to disable the ME and try to turn it on. |

I'm going to try to find a different laptop to test the chip with, as I'm not going to repair the G60JX any futher (The dGPU for these machines are too expensive for what they are worth)
As for the ME, couldn't that simply be disabled through the BIOS (assuming the option is there) when I use a known working CPU? |

ME is checking the CPU to see if its valid, and disables boot if it isn't. So swapping CPUs wont help. ME is its own processor, in the chipset, that is always on (as long as there is power)
