Intel Core i7-920

Last week a counterfeit version of Intel Core i7-920 processor appeared at the US markets. Intel confirmed the fact on Monday. Now the chip maker is trying to determine how many more are out there.

HardOCP hardware website reported on Friday that one of its forum members bought a fake processor from Newegg, an online seller of computers and components. The user reported that instead of a processor he had found a bogus processor and a plastic mold of a heat sink and fan.
