China still make new x86 CPU ?

[alexino2]

Hello everyone,

I'm new in the collection world So i was wondering about suspicious searches i did on ebay and found this (more than 50 available) :

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/131831985379

By looking further, I went on big chinese selling and found those :
https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=A80C186-16
https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=A80C186XL20

Help me understand, does the chinese are still making new 186/286 cpu ? Are they fake ? (while the production is officially stopped)

Or Alibaba is selling something else and the ones on ebay come from NOS ?

They could be NOS (New Old Stock) - chips that are still new as were previously surplus stock that was not used. That's quite common. Being from a Chinese seller, they could be fake, but they look OK.

hkutsource sells a LOT of fake and/or remarked chips

Rarely does what you get match their pics

Sometimes the parts are right they have just marked them with new markings

Thanks for reply, so chineses cannot make a vintage cpu in their factory ? At least not a working one

It's hard to get a 186/286 PGA motherboard / tester, so i can't test mines...

how can we reconize a chinese marking, from an original intel ?
