I came through this nice one. After removing the stickers on the back, I was surprised to find two different Pentium 133 Sspec: SU038 and SY126.

Could it be a fake?

I think it is most likely a fake.

Here are my reasons:
1. The print on back sides started fading, which looks dodge.
2. Print in the HeatSink looks alright, but there is glue around the HS. HS might be removed from genuine CPU and glued on top of this one.
3. Obviously, SSPEC in the HS mismatches to the one on the back.

I think this is a remarked P133, the real speed and SSPEC under the sink must be a slower one.

SY126 is fake sspec.
Even without bottom photo it's possible to find that it's fake.
Font on the heatsink is wrong, look at " 4 ", " 5 ", " ' ".
And even without font analysis, there are remains of old marks:

Thank you guys. It's so obvious, now... Very Happy

We can even barely see, below "INTEL": SU100 (P120 Sspec) with probably "ICOMP INDEX = 1000" too below FPO line...
