Demo boxes? That would explain a lot


Have a look here:

That makes the newegg spin definitely less believable.


It doesn't make sense. If it were a demo, wouldn't Intel stamp "DEMO" on it all over, so it wouldn't be mistaken for the real thing? Also, as the article points out, why would there be a blank manual in a demo chip, and why would Intel make it look nearly identical to the shipping version, modulo typos?
