Intel Havendale

[Spdrcrv6tt]

Hello! I recently acquired an Intel Auburndale which, by my findings, arent that hard to come by. I found out that the Auburndale had a desktop sister, the Havendale, and was looking for one to add to my collection, but to no avail. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any records of it ever existing besides one picture and it being mentioned in some articles about the Auburndale's cancellation. I was wondering if anyone on here has one, how they acquired it, or if its even realistic to try to find one in the wild, as ebay seems to be dead besides thousands of confidential cpus, and if there is a Havendale on there somewhere that the seller didn't list it would take days to look through all of the confidentials to find it. Thanks!

Yes, they are real, Q2BK.

Some were sold here.

Don't worry : Q2BK are quite common if you're ready to wait for more months.

Keep an eye on Taobao. That's where I got mine

Found one for *Roughly* 120 bucks on some polish website, but don't have that kind of money for a display item. Now that I know the letter code for the Havendales I can look for them in the future. Thank you all!

$120USD is way too much, I think mine was 35 RMB (not sure how much USD that is now).

That's 5 dollars! Good find! Hopefully I get as lucky.

Just got to be patient

It is not rare. I got him at a fairly cheap price. The seller thinks he is an engineering sample of I3 530.
