Reddit user "Leviathon6425" posted:He bought an almost new second-hand Ryzen 9 9900X3D on Amazon at a very cheap price (not specified).However, when he got it, he found something was wrong. He didn't dare to open the package and posted a message asking everyone to help take a look.
Sharp-eyed netizens quickly discovered that the so-called Ryzen 9 9900X3D was completely fake.
The silk screen printing on the processor exposed on the side of the box is obviously wrong. Although the specific model is covered, the serial number actually corresponds to the Ryzen 9 3900X.
You know, Ryzen 9 9900X3D is the latest flagship model, Zen5 architecture, 4nm process, 12 cores and 24 threads, 140MB cache, 5.5GHz acceleration frequency, 120W thermal design power consumption
Ryzen 9 3900X is an ancient Zen2 architecture, a 2019 product. Although it also has 12 cores and 24 threads, it only has a 12nm process, 70MB cache, 4.6GHz acceleration frequency, and 105W thermal design power consumption.
The comment section suggested that the netizen might have misplaced the bag and suggested not to open it and contact the after-sales service directly for a return.
Therefore, you must be cautious when buying second-hand products, even on large platforms.
