Hardware detective Harukaze5719 has discovered a Taobao listing selling not one but six of Intel's looming Core Ultra 200 (Arrow Lake) processors. These mechanical samples have escaped the lab, and someone put them up for sale.
According to the seller, the mechanical samples have different power limits for testing CPU coolers. This is evident since the processors still have the circular CPU cooler markings on the IHS. The model is unknown since engineering samples, or in this case, mechanical samples, only carry the "Intel Confidential" markings. The "QDF4" designation aligns with a previously leaked LGA1851 chip that popped up last month. The Taobao seller didn't blur out the FPO (Finished Process Order) number on the Arrow Lake samples.
