Looks fake to me too. Are there any markings on the back?

i agree with Gennadiy, the cpu packing looks very odd, not to mention the markings... i think it a chip that is something else than a cpu marked as a P4004... Mad if you look very carefully it looks like it got rubed with sandpaper or something similar...

Theres a similar, badly marked, C8008 up on ebay right now. It looks very suspicious.

Just to give the answer for all (interested):
Unfortunately but as expected it is not a working i4004, there's absolutely no reaction in my M900 like no chip installed.
The chip doesn't get warm (like the SGS 4004 does).

Of course both samples are on the way back (if not arrived already).

br, Michael

Thank you Michael for great work icon_builder
So they are FAKE. Hmmm If somebody interest in trade for them I will be happy.

While we're talking about fake chips - here is an article about Celeron 1.7 GHz remarked as Pentium 4 3.6 GHz:
