That puts an end to that:

Hi Kyle,
Following is Newegg.com's official statement reguarding the Intel shipping story:
"Newegg is currently conducting a thorough investigation surrounding recent shipments of questionable Intel Core i7-920 CPUs purchased from Newegg.com.
Initial information we received from our supplier, IPEX, stated that they had mistakenly shipped us "demo units." We have since come to discover the CPUs were counterfeit and are terminating our relationship with this supplier. Contrary to any speculation, D&H Distributing is not the vendor that supplied us with the Intel Core i7-920 CPUs in question.
Newegg’s top priority is to proactively reach out to all customers who may have been affected to ensure their absolute satisfaction. We have already sent out a number of replacement units and are doing everything in our power to resolve the matter promptly and with the least amount of inconvenience to our customers.
We have always taken pride in providing an exceptional experience for each customer, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our valued customers. We take matters like this extremely seriously, and are working in close cooperation with Intel and the appropriate law enforcement authorities to thoroughly investigate this incident."
Thanks,
Scott Meaney

As BD said, In China everything gets knocked off.
A supplier of mine decided to have "certain" product manufactured in China. I jokingly asked "How long will it take before they find it being sold as a knock off somewhere?"
Their answer was "We have very strong legal protection in China, so that won't happen"
Six months later, it was discovered that employees who worked in the manufacturing facility during the day, were going home and building exact copies of the same product, using stolen blueprints, and the skills taught to them by the American trainers, and competing for the same business with their "Cheaper" brand.
In China... everything is knocked off.
