Linus had a video on this a while back that exposed this to a wider audience, and it looks like the same seller now has 10th gen options so I'm curious if anyone has played with one of these yet (any generation)? Apparently they provide a modded BIOS for your specific board (if compatible) so I'm curious how these perform in the thermal department considering the form factor they were originally intended for.

The closest relatives to these ES appear to be H-series i7 (they can come in 8C16T or 6T12T config). I'm also wondering about the memory situation as they recommend slower DIMMs, could it be due to the memory speed cap which is unlocked when used on Z series?
Would be interesting if they got their hands on some 10nm ES and got them working.
