Counterfeit processor?

I bought a 1600 duron on ebay and recieved this instead. It's on the old ceramic packaging btw. I'll link the (huge) pic: Some of the letters are misaligned/look fake. What's up?

    AHX1700AMS3C is a Palomino code, which never used the ceramic packaging as far as I know.

    That might just be a rebadged Pally MP processor, which I know was made with the ceramic package on some of the lower speed MP's. Unless you payed like $15-20, you got screwed. :zombie:

    I'll put it in a system...and get my fingers ready to send nasty e-mail.

    Not even rebadged, possibly.... The top line code is valid for an AMD MP-- Intended-for-OEM production-- CPU, from the now-defunct Malaysian FAB, 1700 MP. Courtesy of a Thermal and Electrical properties AMD tech ref file that was copyrighted 2002 and covered 2000-2002 (VERY EARLY 2002) prod. I think this was a first quarter 2001 CPU production. FUNNIEST thing about this PIC, is the CPU looks like it was new or run undervoltaged for a short time-- the EPOXY around core tends to discolor with age and heat, this is clear glue. RETIMED, though, possibly, the jumper cuts look like a couple too many on this CPU. I would not pay more than what MudDocktor said for this CPU now, either.

    In any event...It wasn't what I paid for. Hopefully I'll get my money back and/or the processor I bought.
