Late last week, the first claims surfaced that Newegg had sold fake Intel processors after at least one customer posted photos and other information of the allegedly fake products, to the Internet.
The "CPUs" in question were purchased between Mar. 1, and Mar. 4, according to a Newegg statement, and have FPO/BATCH# 3938B006 printed on the packaging. "Additionally, the Part Number on the heat sink will read CNFN936612 and there will be no wiring on the heat sink itself," according to the statement.
