Did I buy a fake CPU ?
by LegionOfHell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59NCY)
I bought this CPU from aliexpress....Is this an original CPU ? or is it fake ? like, Is it ES or not ?
Is there a way to figure out whether this is genuine or fake ?
If the BIOS says it is i7-4712MQ then i am good...right ?
here is the CPU section of lshw : https://pastebin.com/Q3AQ403f
here is cat /proc/cpuinfo : https://pastebin.com/d5ddtxpj
