A fake Intel Core i7-920 was delivered to the hands of HardForum user Vincent Waller in Oregon, AKA "Nix." He reported his find to other HardForum users Thursday afternoon.

WHAT?!? I don't think that it's newegg's fault... it's more the provider's fault. Well, I think...

Looks like the Egg got a small batch of counterfeit processors from one of it's suppliers. [H]ard|OCP says a source identified the supplier to them, and now the supplier they named is serving them with a Cease & Desist. Oh what a tangled web....
