Where did you buy this?Is "Perform. Innovate. Connect." motto printed on all intel boxed processors? If there is no such thing printed on top of the box, does that mean it's a fake CPU? (Batch number and partial serial number match, though.) Thanks again

From a local reseller.Where did you buy this?
Just a guess, but it's feasible it's a tray CPU that was put in a counterfeit box for sale as a retail item with higher markup. In which case it would still be a legit CPU, of course.
Not really... in USA Microcenter and Best Buy are popular 'local resellers' but are nationwide. A true local 'reseller' might do the boxing and selling of tray CPU's just as would a foreign reseller. A Best Buy or Microcenter, though, have much bigger reputations to uphold.From a local reseller.
Isn't that regional?
