Hi Paul, "Remarking must be organised crime" Intel chips suffer massive counterfeiting theinquirer.net Remarking must be organised crime By the Newsdesk, 30 May 2001 09.40 BST BROKERS, DISTRIBUTORS AND DEALERS in Europe are reporting a vastly increased incidence of re-marked Intel processors ... ...sealed with a counterfeit special "Intel" sticker still in place. This sticker is used to ensure the integrity of the contents - once a box has been opened, it cannot be sealed with the same tape again. That suggests that the operation is high tech and sophisticated. The CPUs use serigraphy with part numbers, again, a hard item to duplicate. The only way to really check whether a part is remarked or not is to send Intel the serial numbers for checking, but many of the chip firm's channel partners - system integrators and distributors alike - are frightened to do so. If they did, La Intella would realise that they traded in so-called "grey market products", and would stand the risk of being struck off the chip giant's preferred list of dealers and distributors. In some cases, that means dealers will just plonk the parts into PCs and keep their mouths shut. µ
