A Reddit user in Canada ordered a Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor from Amazon but received a standard Ryzen 9 9950X3D instead. The box was sealed, but the CPU inside was the wrong model.
Customer receives wrong CPU in sealed box
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition carries a price of 900 USD (about $900). The user ended up with a CPU that is significantly cheaper.
Amazon Canada is processing a return for the customer and has promised to prevent such an error from happening again.
The most likely explanation is that the CPU was a returned unit that had been tampered with. The factory seal may have been removed and reapplied. Amazon may have failed to check the returned product before reshipping it.
AMD has not commented on the incident. It remains unclear whether the error occurred during packaging or if the seal was compromised.
