Can you identify them by your eyes?

I will upload other pictures late.

also put them side by side with other pentiums and look at the thickness of the ceramic.

The right one i think. The laser engraving does not "feel" right in some way. Its not as distinguished (or what its called) as the left one.

I also say the one on the right is the fake. Biggest clue is the fact that the laser print is not consistent. The P's are not all the same, and nor are the 0's. The lettering would be consistent in it's quality, with the same letter looking the same if it was genuine.

good point you two.. going on that alone I think that is a big clue, I have never noticed variations in the engraving like that before. To be sure it would be nice to see the thickness and the bottom. A cpuid string would be interesting as well Smile

the right one is made less accurately, than left... So I think that right cpu is fake...
Note that "0" on fake chip is smaller and thinner then regular "0"

Thanks all.

Yes, you are right, the right one is fake.

In fact it's easy to identify them by compare.

Here are some pictures that I identify them not only by eyes.

I used toothpaste and toothbrush to brush them.

You can see the bubble's color of them are different.

The real one(left)'s color is white and the fake one(right) is not white.
