    I think someone tried to fake Intel a few years back didn't they?

    http://www.extremetech.com/computing/85286-fake-intel-core-i7-cpu
    http://superuser.com/questions/635565/fake-intel-cpus
    http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/03/05/newegg_selling_fake_intel_cpus#.VNtHhvnF98E

    Apparently newegg was selling fake Intels, it just never came to light because Newegg is not as big as Amazon...

    The thing is just that these specific sellers were on Amazon. And so it's getting much more publicity than the other fakes.

    You'd think you'd fake them to fit the right motherboard socket, something with the same amount of cores and such. Not sure the difference here between sending someone a box of rocks and this, why bother making it?

    agree on this, you have to put effort/time/money into it while it has the same results as sending a rock...
