NewEgg Confirms Fake Core i7s, Apologizes
by Ol'Bud » Tue Mar 09, 2010 12:27 pm
When I was a Newby, I was like a fresh new Sponge from the Grocery Store looking for anyone to spill something good so I could jump on it and SOAK-IT-UP !
I'm still looking for a few good spills here and there.
Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of Liberty, To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright, With Freedom's Holy light, Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.
Rome did not create a GREAT EMPIRE by having Meetings; They did it by KILLING All those who OPPOSED them.
Eschew Obfuscation !

Good Grief. At least newegg retail customers will get refunds.
Pity the poor folks who buy those fakes off eBay or computer forums.

Look at the story at [H] and the pictures. http://hardocp.com/article/2010/03/05/n ... intel_cpus
These are also available at ebay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54tDqM5- ... r_embedded
I think this is 1000 times worse than the faked socket A's. At least with those, you were getting a real CPU. I hope they catch the scumbags that did this.
