Read the o/cers article. The S Code on the chip is from an OLD chip; a 2.0

Same markings here: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=Nw==

From Ed:

" Update: There was a picture of the processor, it's just been yanked, but don't worry, I saved a copy.

It has an sspec of QFF8ES A4, and a type identifier of 80531.

Type identifer 80531 was used by Intel for non-Northwood 478-pin PIVs.

If you look carefully at the first picture in this article on the 2.0 Ghz PIV Willamette, you'll see that that CPU also has an identifying code of QFF8ES A4, and a type identifier of 80531 (though it's not the same processor as the one shown in the recent article).

If you don't want to look so far, here's a far clearer picture from [H]ardOCP (click on the first image). Again, QFF8ES A4, type identifier 80531.

Intel never recycles items like sspecs or type identifiers.

Occasionally, we've noticed websites put the wrong picture up for a processor, but the picture of the processor shows a code ending in 3.3G0K rather than 2.0G0K. "

There is little doubt that the image was photoshopped based upon that.
