I can't find any data on this CPU whatsoever, so I'm going to guess that it's very old and won't provide adequate gaming performance (anything at 2 Ghz won't). It could be used in a computer strictly used for web browsing/emails/etc., but you would have to get a motherboard if you don't have one and you could geta much better computer for around the same price I assume. I would keep it and just put it on display or make a necklace or a pocket heater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw2p-Dmn48U

The ES suffix states that the cpu is an engineering sample.

They are the first cpu`s to roll of the fabrication process of a cpu fabrication plant.
either using a new node process or cpu architecture.

And are used for testing purposes for cpu manufacturers such as Intel or Amd.

The QBPK part of the code will denote how many cpu cores the package has.

I think it denotes it is a Haswell engineering sample cpu an with two cores.

Just checked, it is an i3 Haswell cpu with two cores and four threads.

Not to bad for free cpu.
