And more:

"In an almost surreal tale of events, USA electronics retailer Newegg has discovered a reported 300 counterfeit Intel Core i7 920 CPU’s in its inventory, some of which were inadvertently shipped out to buyers!

"Initial reports of the fakes began yesterday when at least 3* 5 separate incidents totaling 7* 9 counterfeit processors cropped up on Youtube, HardOCP and the Overclockers.com forums. The recipients of the fakes had all purchased the CPU’s from Newegg.com within the past few days."

That's almost certainly a big time operation involving thousands of cases, most likely originating at the source in Asia... scary

The price newegg charges they must be buying direct from intel.. which means Costa Rica probably. MC might be getting asian chips dunno, they got some stewy pot brewing to charge 80 less than anyone else.
