This is fraudulent (regardless of 130nm vs 90nm) because they sent me an OEM CPU, and I ordered a retail CPU.
If you bought a retail boxed CPU and they sent an OEM trayed CPU instead they made the mistake and you either need a new CPU (postage paid due to the mistake), or a refund after you send it back. That's simple customer service.
Good businesses know that for every 1 customer miffed by bad CS, that customer will tell at least 10 others how crappy they are. So it behooves good businesses to not let that happen. In the age of the internet, it can be many more than 10 others being notified.
Once complained about the delay of a service from a vender, and the defenders hopped in saying it's fine to wait 72 hours. Only when the thread got longer that vender's representatives came on and gave excuses like the help department crew were out due to a flu.

Yeah, and I was "out" with oral surgery that week but despite that pain had to get my work done. Asked for a refund on the spot, because excuses like that is unacceptable for a national vender (for a national company needs more than 3 people manning CS 24/7, and it's a clear sign requests won't be answered in a timely manner even if they were all well).
It's your money. If they give you the run around return the product and ask for a refund. Then go to a business that will treat you like you're they're only customer -- yeah they might charge $10 more for a product, but that's $10 less in RMA shipping too. :/
