Genuine AMD boxed processors ensure high customer satisfaction
 

To confirm AMD authenticity, make sure your AMD PIB and WOF packaging has this patented 3-dimensional holographic label in the bottom left corner.

See example of
NON authentic
hologram

To confirm its authenticity, make sure your AMD boxed processor has three holographic labels. There should be one on the box’s bottom right hand corner and one on each of the tamper-evident security seals on the top and bottom of the back of the box.

The number of dots on one side of the 3-D AMD logo will change when viewing from different angles.

Additional security features on PIB and WOF packaging that help ensure product authenticity include:

 

Tamper-Evident Sealing Label

 

Two tamper-evident sealing labels with industrial strength adhesive and holographic labels are used to seal both openings of the PIB package. Tamper proof seals will physically reveal if tampering has occurred.

  • Integrated Izon Holograms : Incorporate the best hologram technology in the industry and our AMD “1-2-3-4” authentication campaign into the security label.
  • Raised Tactile Intaglio Printing: Industry leading technology used to give customers tactile way to “feel” if the label is authentic. This can be found in the lower portion of each label.
  • Multi - Shade/Shape Green Background: Varying color and shape in background with overlapping design and shapes make it easy to authenticate.
 
 

Serial Number Label

 

This serial number label is located on the top end of the PIB packaging. Each serial number is a unique 13-digit alphanumeric number which helps AMD and its customers track PIB distribution and verify product authenticity for warranty service. Both labels shown here are valid.

 


Note: The 13-digital number on this label is for illustration purposes only
 
 

Holographic Label

 

The number of dots on one side of the 3-D AMD logo will change when you tip the holographic label up, down, left and right.

Starting mid-2004, the holographic label on AMD PIB packaging should appear a gold color with a dimension of 19mm x 15mm. Earlier versions may be different.
