without looking at the physical hardware, could the hardware info be fake?

without actually opening the computer case, unscrewing the hardware, is it possible to know the actual hardware details, e.g brand, specification, without being cheated in the software level?

i.e. intel is intel. i3 is i3. Never an i3 CPU seen as i7 in the BIOS or windows
