    This. We deliberately sent old HW up, so it was already rigorously tested.I mean, the spaceshuttle ran on a 386. But the software we send up has its final lines added while the engines are heating up?

    That's just wrong.

    Such irony—the Russians invented the art of reverse-engineering American chips. Observe!

    Adding that the CPU's are also custom made, along with it's embedded operating system, to withstand the operating environment.

    I've never heard of someone faking processors ever. It just seems completely insane.

    Its actually been a common scam since at least the days of the 486. What would happen is a processor will have its markings scrubbed and then get labeled as a faster processor. This doesn't just happen with CPU's either. http://www.cpushack.com/2010/01/14/counterfeit-ics-a-growing-problem/
