Looks alright. Engraving(or marking) is not necessary to be in the middle.
Based on engraving, font, speed and sSpec, this is a real one.

I think the question is over the words "Intel Pentium" being so right of centre and being done in bubbly paint. |

| I would start the analysis by cleaning it up. Take a cotton bud or similar and clean it top and bottom with methylated spirits and then acetone. Genuine paint should survive this process. Fake Pentiums are usually made by filling in the top with a new coating and engraving that. However the new coating is always softer than the underlying ceramic, and is usually not a perfect match to the original colour. With the top being clean, it will be a lot easier to spot scratches that show a slightly different colour underneath, as well as possibly being able to see evidence of the original markings (it may help to use a torch). Also, does the ceramic on top look the same colour as the ceramic on the sides and bottom? |
