Intel and AMD counterfeit CPUs have been circulating the retail and used processor market for years. The main scam is when 3rd party resellers try to sell buyers a CPU that isn’t similar to the one they had ordered. This can be achieved in many ways with the most common example being the faked IHS.
Is i7 an overkill?
For purely gaming, yes an i7 is pointless. It performs only marginally than an i5, and the price difference is almost always better spent on a better GPU. Lots of games still only use 2 cores, though 4 is more common nowadays I think. Strictly for gaming purposes an i7 is a complete waste of money.
