This is a quote from the article which was rebuffed. Restating it here for no particular reason / without additional commentary is unnecessary clutter.

Edit: Sigh, I'm pretty sure this is a bot account.

This is kinda scary, there should be seal wrap , like asprin, to ensure that the product is correct.

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?
