Hello!

What you got are some Engineering Samples of an Intel Xeon X5260 processor. You can find some information here: http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/Q6/Q624.html

And a short description, what an engineering sample is, you can find here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_sample_%28CPU%29

Intel confidential cpus are in most cases such prototype cpus.

Best regards, Xaar.
