Intel CPU On Intel website, I notice that the CPU's for Chinese market are specifically identified as such. Are they internally different from the same model of CPU supplied to Western markets? I ask, because more and more computer retailers in NZ are Chinese, and I wonder if they import their CPU components from China for sale here, and there is a fundamental difference that we should be aware of?

So in all seriousnessIf you put a genuine Intel CPU in a NZ computer used in NZ, but the CPU was sourced (by the Chinese computer shop in NZ) from the Chinese marketplace (in China), the danger is........what, exactly?

OKhttp://ark.intel.com/cpu.aspx?groupId=33923 Under the block diagram, 1/3 way down the web page, under heading 'processor ordering information'. First item in the list of 3, with ref BXC80569Q9450

The specs are identical At a guess I would suggest that it is just a packaging/language point of difference - or maybe protectionist pricing. Cant see anything to be concerned about.
