Fake Intel CPUs at Newegg
Fake Intel CPUs at Newegg After talking to several sources on this, it seems that Newegg was in fact selling counterfeit Intel processors. A fake Intel Core i7-920 was delivered to the hands of HardForum user Vincent Waller in Oregon, AKA "Nix." He reported his find to other HardForum users Thursday afternoon. http://hardocp.com/article/2010/03/0...ake_intel_cpus

Someone in the supply chain is making a buck on fake shit. I guess razor thin profit margins aren't enough anymore.
