Likely to be a lower-end processor with the nametags molested and replaced with i7s. There were cases of Intel knockoffs before, which were mostly lower end Pentiums re-tagged and sold as higher-end processors.

I love NewEgg. Sucks that something like this had to happen to them.
Ehh, shit happens. They won't lose any business over it.
There goes ALL of my trust for Newegg.
