Fake Athlon XP?

[Telcontar]

I got these Athlon XPs today.



What is very interesting: both chips have the same signature. Same stepping, same serial. Only the character sizes and the AMD logo sizes are different. Is one of them fake? Or both?

Another strange thing (at least for me): both cores look like a Barton (the same size), though the stepping (AXDA2600KV3D) refers to a T-Bred of 333 MHz FSB, if I'm right.

They could be both fakes. The core does look like Barton/Thorton core, so they may be remarked Thorton processors.
