How do I check if my Intel processor is genuine?

Question

I recently got an assembled PC. The PC was not assembled in front of my eyes. And the seal for each component's (the processor, the graphics card... etc) box was not removed before me. I just gave my specifications to a 3rd party computer assembling shop and got it assembled. Now I want to know if my Intel processor is genuine. So I tried getting the processor's serial number using the terminal (I didn't want to risk opening my PC myself).

The command I used for checking the processor's serial number:

sudo dmidecode -t system | grep Serial

The output given by the terminal was : Serial Number: System Serial Number.

Does this signify that my processor isn't genuine (I paid for a genuine one)? Or is it just that some motherboard’s BIOS don't retrieve this information from the processor?

Or is there a better way to figure out if my processor is genuine (without disassembling the PC) ?

Additional Info:

command :

$ lscpu

Solution

This will likely be closed as your question is not really about Ubuntu.

You would probably need to remove the CPU, hard to know if any software options will be reliable.

You can cat /proc/cpuinfo and you should see vendor_id : GenuineIntel You can try https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/7838/Intel-Processor-Identification-Utility-Windows-Version

If you do not have windows, try inext - http://i-nex.linux.pl/
