Recently, a topic has attracted the attention of many small partners, "It turns out that the CPU does not have a serial number now!" ”。 CPU manufacturers in order to protect our privacy and endure the omission of such a useful serial number, I don't know if it will make the small partner very moved? But...... This is clearly wrong.
In fact, as long as you get a recent CPU, you will find that on its top shell, with a line of number that cannot be "interpreted", it is the Match number, which also contains CPU information, or it is actually the serial number of this CPU. By the way, the number SRH6S on it seems strange, but it can be directly interpreted, and it is also very useful for signs such as the place of production.
So, what is the so-called CPU without a serial number, protecting user privacy? In fact, it is very simple, but the system is no longer allowed to read the CPU serial number, as to whether there is a serial number stored inside it? Can it be cracked to read? That's unknown.
As for the "serial number" on the box, it is actually for the CPU and fan inside the box, which is a complete set of products, and the CPU and fan as independent products also have their own product numbers, and they are also reflected on the box, such as the BENCH number and two-dimensional code of the CPU. However, a boxed CPU like the Core K in this article that does not contain a fan will certainly not have a fan information number.
Small partners who are ready to buy a CPU should pay attention to the fact that the number on the CPU and fan must be the same as the number on the box to confirm the original product. Of course, upgrades are frequent, and small partners who often have to deal with old CPUs should also pay attention to saving the packaging box, and pay attention to the corresponding relationship, do not wear the sign on the box, so that the future shot will be more valuable.
Of course, the point proposed in the article is also very important, that is, the serial number of CPU and other accessories is read by some ulterior motives in the system, which may cause the PC to be recognized, resulting in some targeted push information and other harassment, just like our mobile phones. Therefore, we must not only pay attention to the system's reading of accessory information, but also do not fully display the serial number in forums, second-hand platforms and other places, just like the figure above.
