My sale blackops and x5698， Some problems

[WFS2005]

I sold some blackops and x5698 a few days ago. And Someone told me that there were some problems with these fonts Last night, and he suspected that they were fake.
Today, I carefully compared John's picture with mine and found that it was really different, I think it's fake. I want to ask your opinions. If someone has blackops and x5698, we can compare them.
If we can be sure they're fake. I will refund the full cost to these friends in these days. I'm sorry about that.

I suppose the easiest way to find out would be to test the chips and see what the BIOS model string says.

I've compared the blackopz, and the spacing is a bit different:

The one from the ebay listing: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Intel-Blackops-6-Core-4-60GHz-250W-2011-Socket-Engineering-Sample-CPU-A-19-/123955547622 matches the one from CPUShack.

Blackops has wrong font, look at "4".

[cvandijk]

Yes, and the Z has a different height:

X5698 font is off too, again 4 and ' before 09.

Spacings definitely aren't perfect on many of my chips from the era, but the font is definitely different on the 4. This doesn't immediately invalidate it for me, though, it'd be difficult to fake it this well.

Hopefully these can be tested at CPUShack to confirm. Otherwise I'll report my findings on the X5698 when I recieve it.

OK，It seems that these two are fake, I will count the refund in these days. Thank you all

Decoding the datamatrix is a good way to be sure, but you need a macro lens on your phone.

The easiest way to clarify this to plug and pray LOL

[crazybubba64]

I have systems capable of testing both chips, so I could report back on if they are legitimate or not (assuming they POST)

[CPUShack]

Clearly faked, but always makes ya wonder what they faked from

For this matter, I am very sorry again.

I don't have the corresponding motherboard, so I can't test them.
I have contacted the seller for two days and have not received any response. It's because the seller is busy in the new year, or the seller doesn't respond intentionally. I don't think there's any hope.
