Web Comic Episode 1 "The Rampage of Counterfeit CPUs" and Episode 2 "The Real Intel Genuine CPU Appears!"
Learn How to Protect Your Consumer Rights

Three Intel authorized distributors (Intek & Company, Coet, PC Direct) have launched an initiative to protect consumer rights for customers of the "7th Generation Intel Core Processor," also known by the codename "Kaby Lake."

As cases of consumer rights infringement and damage resulting from counterfeit CPU distribution continue to occur, the three Intel authorized distributors announced on the 7th that they will widely publicize benefits exclusively for genuine product purchasers and conduct a quiz event.

Currently, genuine CPU benefits for Intel processor product lines can be visually confirmed through the Intel Genuine CPU sticker attached to the CPU box or the surface of fully assembled PCs. Additionally, a method to verify through product number checks by visiting the website (realcpu.co.kr) is also provided.

The 7th Generation Intel Core Processor, in particular, allows customers to enjoy diverse benefits through purchasing genuine Intel CPUs. A 3-year A/S warranty, remote A/S through Self PC Care Service, free round-trip shipping when using Losen Delivery, free Intel Security McAfee Anti-Virus Plus, centralized PC driver downloads, replacement with next-tier products for discontinued items during the A/S period, and special customer event programs offering seasonal benefits are all available on an ongoing basis.

The negative effects of counterfeit CPUs and the benefits provided by genuine CPUs can be found in web comic format on IT information portals. Through Episode 1 "The Rampage of Counterfeit CPUs" and Episode 2 "The Real Intel Genuine CPU Appears!", readers can learn how to protect their consumer rights.

Along with the web comic, an Intel Genuine CPU quiz event will also be held. In this event running through October 22nd, participants who view the web comic in the event and submit answers identifying incorrect content will be selected through a drawing to receive prizes.

An Intel authorized distributor representative stated, "Counterfeit CPUs are being distributed underground, and consumer damage cases are being reported continuously. In response, the three Intel authorized distributors are supplying genuine CPU products with genuine stickers bearing the distributor logos to the market while focusing resources on promoting the benefits of Intel genuine CPUs." The representative further emphasized, "The various services and events provided under the Intel brand are rightful benefits that only genuine users deserve to enjoy."
