OT: looking for a BX80701W1250 processor

Hi All,



All my suppliers and all my search engines can not find an in stock source for an Intel BX80701W1250, Xeon W-1250 Hexa-core processor I need for a customer.



You guys know of a source USA or CA source?



Many thanks,

THANK YOU!

I scoured New Egg for BX80701W1250, but could not find it.

mumble, mumble

You would not happen to know the part number for the Intel cooler that goes with it (I am allergic to sleeve bearing fans). Intel's web site is no help.

I ordered out an Intel Thermal Solution BXTS15A Heatsink CPU Air Cooling Fan LGA1151 LGA1151 LGA1156 (and LGA1200) from New Egg. Expensive little bugger!

The fan is not a standard square fan with holes.

It's approx an 80mm fan. Can't zoom in to check (using mupdf).

Likely an Al fin cake, with a Cu slug jammed into the middle. The screened TIM will heat up and spread like cake icing, to meet the circular diameter next to it in the drawing.

The design might work best with a CPU with no GPU inside. Whereas a lot of Intel processors today consist of two chips in a MCM, so the CPU heat source may not be dead center.

Some Intel processors are soldered lids (and curved top), others are dead flat and filled with a crumbly TIM instead (no solder). The soldered ones, the thermal path might be more consistent over time. Intel policy on soldered lids, flaps in the breeze.

You know the circuit board best, and whether you have to adhere to the keepout with the usage of such a contraption. I'd probably select a cooler that takes a standard fan shape, for easier maintenance. And maybe a screwdown holder. But that's going to cost (in a COVID era, I don't really know which HS makers are shipping stuff).

And I didn't see a theta_R value while scrolling through the docs, so no idea what rise in temp to expect with a small thing like that. 44 to 50dBa! Didn't say at what distance. Hard drives are, say, 30 by comparison. You can probably hear that product. The Delta is the 50dBa one :-) They have a reputation to maintain.

Did you actually try to contact Intel? They generally are willing to point you to a source for their processors.

I checked them yesterday. As soon as I pressed the add to cart, I got an out of stock message. Hmmmmmm. Maybe they found some between now and then.

I used their web site.

Feedback from Intel to one of my suppliers was:

?You may expect a 6-8 week lead time for 1 unit of, BX80701W1250. Please note: Product lead time estimates are subject to change and do not warranty supply.?

You've called them (Intel Sales) before and actually had them be helpful? Every time I have spoken with them, they are very polite but can't find a solution. Google, Duck-Duck-go, Qwant all far better.

I have been pretty pleased with their tech support. Actually had a guy follow up on something several months after I asked. He finally found a solution. I was impressed.

Don't buy any SSD drive from them though

Intel is a major manufacturer of flash memory, has been for three decades, so what's supposed to be wrong with their SSD drives?
