Unboxing the Fake Intel Core i7-920

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the recognize-boo-yaka-shah dept.

SkinnyGuy writes "The only thing more remarkable than NewEgg shipping fake Core i7 CPUs to customers is getting your hands on one and checking it out. Apparently there are only a couple hundred of these things in existence and Gearlog somehow managed to get and unbox one. The images are fascinating."
