En amazon reino unido han detectado la venta de supuestos procesadores AMD APU Kaveri A8-7600 que en realidad son viejos Athlon X2 de primera generacion.
Y asi de increible como se oye, en amazon estan vendiendo procesadores Athlon X2 5200+ usados, a los que les han puesto una nueva cubierta, que los hace pasar por modernos APUs Kaveri A8-7600.
AMD se ha puesto en contacto con Amazon para investigar el origen de estas falsificaciones, que segun sus averiguiaciones solo esta restringido a amazon reino unido, pero no esta pro demas esten al pendiente si piensan comprar procesadores en estas tiendas.
AMD escribió:It is apparent that this isolated incident is not related in any way to AMDs manufacturing or packaging. AMD takes any reports of product tampering very seriously.
As part of our ongoing efforts to help ensure consumers and businesses are sold only genuine AMD processors, we thoroughly investigate these extremely rare incidents in an effort to determine the source of the altered products, and consider all available legal remedies - including both civil and criminal prosecution - against persons found to have engaged in fraudulent actions affecting AMD products...
We are working in close cooperation with Amazon and the local enforcement authorities to conclude this incident quickly and ensure that the rigorous quality and reliability standards that AMD is known for are maintained. In addition, while AMD already implements extensive security measures to ensure the authenticity of our products, we are currently evaluating further measures to implement additional security measures for maximum future support.
In this specific case I believe that Amazon’s consumer protection policies correctly supported the customer, and AMD has engaged with the buyer to ensure their personal satisfaction in this unfortunate situation.
Este fraude fue detectado por las reviews y reclamos de una de las personas que compro estos APU apocrifos, y amazon es como puso atencion a que se iban sumando quejas.
The chip I received was not a A8-7600, at least the pin layout was incorrect. I saw another review that had same problem and the picture is exactly the same as the one supplied. Good thing is Amazon's excellent customer service, replacement is now on its way, hopefully this one will be correct.
If you have one of these and it does not the the FM2+ socket, then don't force it, just verify the pin layout.
