because the speed was marked after it was assembled and tested. Pretty normal

It's the normal case? 
I used to think printing is a one step process which would make things simple. Does intel make chips in such a way either?

| Well, the speed is printed afterward on any NexGen. On P90 it's usually black and on all my P100, it's like on this P120. So if you try to imply that it's a fake, then no it isn't. |

Intel speed bins chips when still in the die stage
Nexgen did so after final assembly (probably since IBM made most of them)

thanks john for this information.
just a bit curious, no any extra implication at all
