Basically what title says.
I just bought a laptop, which was advertised as having an intel i7-1065G7 processor, it even has the sticker with "Core i7 10th edition" on it. Now the weird thing is, when I look in system information under components it says " Core i5-1035G1". So what's actually going on here, am I missing something or was I scammed?
Scammed seems unlikely since I have a free 50 day return policy so I can just return it tomorrow, but was it actually false advertising?
I work at a computer recycling facility and I've found a processor I've never seen and never heard about before in a Dell Dimension (Model Unknown) [I'm not totally sure about the model because the model sticker was scratched]. The computer was working as normal but the CPU info in the BIOS was filled with exclamation points and corrupted symbols. I can't find any significant information on the internet and I was wondering if anyone here on Reddit had any information about this.
*** Edit (September 12, 2021): I RMA'd the cpu through AMD. Relatively quick and painless process thankfully. Unfortunately, I did have one WHEA Logger happen on the new CPU, but I believe I found a possible solution.
Seeing that there were a number of users reporting issues from a hardware monitor, I believe HWiNFO, I did not install that when I reinstalled Windows when installing this new CPU. I did however install Corsair iCue for my AIO. Once setting the settings in iCue, I completely deleted the software. Haven't had an error since.
I also did some digging and found that all my WHEA Logger events would happen when the computer would go to sleep. Being someone who rarely leaves the computer for long periods of time without shutting down fully, I disabled "Hibernation" and "Sleep" for my settings.
I uninstalled iCue and disabled the sleep settings at the same time, so I cannot say for certain which could be a possible solution, but I don't think it would hurt to try if you happen of have one or the other. No guarantees on this working, but I have gone almost two weeks since the last report.
Got two Event 18 error crashes when playing Apex Legends today within the span of about an hour seemingly out of no where. Also came with Event 55 Kernal-Processor-Power for what seems like each core of the CPU.
I just finished updating X570 chipset drivers from version 2.13.27.501 to current 2.17.25.506. Also updated the BIOS on my Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master from version F32 to F34. Haven't had enough time to see if Event 18 returns, but I did already notice the Event 55 information level events have come up.
Any ideas what this could be?

**Motherboard:** Gigabyte AORUS X570 Master
**BIOS Version:** F32
**RAM:** 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo
**PSU:** Corsair RM850X

> Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality: they discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin qubits - the basic units of information in a silicon quantum processor.
> Until now, quantum computer engineers and scientists have worked with a proof-of-concept model of quantum processors by demonstrating the control of only a handful of qubits.
> With their latest research, published today in Science Advances, the team have found what they consider 'the missing jigsaw piece' in the quantum computer architecture that should enable the control of the millions of qubits needed for extraordinarily complex calculations.
> Rather than having thousands of control wires on the same thumbnail-sized silicon chip that also needs to contain millions of qubits, the team looked at the feasibility of generating a magnetic field from above the chip that could manipulate all of the qubits simultaneously.
> "First we removed the wire next to the qubits and then came up with a novel way to deliver microwave-frequency magnetic control fields across the entire system. So in principle, we could deliver control fields to up to four million qubits," says Dr Pla.
> "Removing the on-chip control wire frees up space for additional qubits and all of the other electronics required to build a quantum processor. It makes the task of going to the next step of producing devices with some tens of qubits much simpler," says Prof. Dzurak.

I just received my replacement CPU from AMD. The only component replaced is the CPU. I have never had hard restarts with previous CPU before. Now I get random restarts. I am not sure if this is RAM issue, BIOS, NordVPN, cables perhaps ?
The computer was running fine for days. now i started getting this problem. I do not think it is new CPU. Nothing is overheating.

I am not sure if this due to updated NordVPN. I have read somewhere that NordVPN can cause this kind of issues ?
I have the newest BIOS / Video card / Chipset drivers installed.
Another thing is my ram. For whatever reason CAS does not change with and without XMP. It stays the same. CAS18 even if XMP is turned off. I never was paying attention to this detail because i never had this problem before.
The crashes occur while browsing the internet.

Update 1:
adding extra PCIe cable solved Bluetooth issues but i still experience random crashes and error 18.
I read that HWinfo is causing WHEA-Logger Event ID and HWinfo is always on on my computer so I have turned it off and let see if this helps with crashes

... keep reading on reddit ➡Upgrading a secure machine and an older, non-backdoored CPU would suit my needs very nicely. As I understand, it was put into place universally on all Intel CPUs starting in 2012, but finding specific information on which do and don't is pretty much impossible. Currently looking at the i7-2670qm, but anything mobile on the G2 socket is on the table.
So I've known about all the other devices built around the IBM CELL CPU, e.g. the IBM QS20/21/22 blades built around the first and second version of the CELL, and the several different PCIe-based CELLs. But I never knew about this Zego BCU-100:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zego
And here's a picture of the layout (imgur backup).
So this appears to be a PS3 with more memory and an extra chip for the IO. But a PS3 that's entirely unlocked and presumably comes with drivers for linux.
This is fascinating because in recent years there has been development towards a user created RSX linux driver. But if there was a Sony one out there that would be great.
I'm also curious how those servers work in general. Whether the PS3 firmware could be ran directly on them, and if they hold any other secrets to the system.
The wiki for the system also says there was an addon card designed to use the system as a workstation instead of a server. I assume this server made it to release, has anyone ever seen one or does anyone have anymore details?
My entry level job is all about developing IT appliances. I want to understand as much as I can about the basics so I can contribute as much as I can.
Edit: I’m a mechanical engineer btw!
I need a laptop because I’m starting college and I want one with the new ryzen processors because of the value (and potential light gaming) and in my search I saw that you can already order the hp envy 360 with the new processors but I can’t find any information on it other then the display.
