I think Intel made everything disappear!

Seriously, they could have bribed him

Maybe they didn't want to leak this, because of some unknown reason?

**Leeghoofd** · 11-26-2009, 09:45 AM

Or maybe it was just a hoax to get some easy cash :p

**DonNiger** · 11-26-2009, 10:25 AM

I told him to be fast before Intel cnocks on his door. At least, I did save the picture

**Leeghoofd** · 11-26-2009, 10:31 AM

Ever crossed ya mind the typing is on the tape and not on the IHS ? Don't you think it's a bit too crisp and clear ? Dents in the IHS are weird too...

**DonNiger** · 11-26-2009, 10:43 AM

I thought it as well but 1:1 from the uploaded photo

**Leeghoofd** · 11-26-2009, 11:50 AM

Best print I've ever seen on Intel CPU, I don't buy it (yet)

**NBF** · 11-26-2009, 11:54 AM

Im not saying it is fake, but its just hard to trust pictures.

**ReverendMaynard** · 11-26-2009, 12:37 PM

if there were only a few made the print would be pretty decent.

**Leeghoofd** · 11-26-2009, 01:14 PM

I've seen a lot of Intel CPU's in all shapes and forms, till now not one with such a crisp print on it... Nice work NBF that will be a golden CPU woohoo E8800 stock at 6ghz :p I hope at 1.1Vcore

Sure, you can manipulate every photo you want, but he provided a non-rejected CPU-Z-validation, too.

@Leeghoofd: Consider that the original picture is an greatly enlarged picture done at a good illumination and 8MP-resolution. It`s not fully comparable with a sight with your own eyes as I noticed several times before.

**WhiteFireDragon** · 11-26-2009, 02:30 PM

really, what happened to that thread? i was following it too. i asked why the prints of the laser etching looked so dark and black, but no one else noticed or comment on the printing. laser etching is just suppose to be a different shade of silver, so that's why i questioned it.

So -1 to the mod for this one.

I hope this won't turn away the owner of this chip to post more info.

I moved the thread to dead threads. He was selling outside of Classifieds. Thanks for your vote of disapproval.

I got a better April fools joke! My latest Intel tells me that the CPU sitting next to that Q829B259 is a Q831A941!!!

In my opinion (and I could be wrong, I think he came here with the intentions to sell. I don't blame the guy, but our Classifieds have to be honored.

**Musho** · 11-26-2009, 03:15 PM

He wasn't trying to sell. Other people were trying to buy

Haha, good catch.
29th week of 2008 ?

And the crystal clear letters on the IHS.

Nice attempt

**RPGWiZaRD** · 11-26-2009, 03:19 PM

I still think this case was dealt too rough, editing the post and then posting a friendly reminder about the rules had been better imo. When there were ppl hanging around his neck like that which is understandable, it's only natural to give such reply.

the point is from which angle he take the photo...

here a photo from a old X6800 ES

or this... same CPU, different angle...

**rockit00** · 11-26-2009, 06:34 PM

Here is another angle also

**WhiteFireDragon** · 11-26-2009, 06:57 PM

lol that little camera icon on the bottom means it's on ebay now? i can't find the listing...

**rockit00** · 11-26-2009, 07:15 PM

Hey, that scuff mark above the laser etching looks familiar! Where have I seen that scuff mark before?
