Hello, everyone.
A few days ago I bought I7-8086K. When I turned it on, CPU-Z showed as Pentium Gold G5400 !!! In BIOS too. The motherboard is a MSI B360M MORTAR. The question is where the problem, the motherboard is wrong or the processor is wrong or is fake ?

I already brought it back, but I'm sure he is a FAKE! I found a similar case in a forum : https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/94mhi9/8086k_issue_detected_as_8700k_bios/

Hello VAnge3
Thank you for the information.
Have you run the tools advised on the previous post? If you have please attach the .txt results to the thread.
What is the model of the motherboard?
Is the system BIOS up to date?
Hope this helps.
