I just got a new netbook, a 'Onemix 2s' which is a sort of 7 inch convertible thingy with an Amber Lake M3-8100Y. It seems to report the CPU correctly in some cases but not others. So is this fraud or fail and how can I tell? As you can see CPU-Z is suggesting and identify crisis. Specs for the two chips side by side, they are very similar: https://ark.intel.com/compare/95449,185282 My initial thought was they are shipping old kit and passing it off as new and somehow fiddling the OS display name. Then I thought maybe it is legit hardware but they have cocked up the UEFI? Some tools report a 3.4ghz clock and performance is really good so far so maybe it is just the chipset being reported incorrectly.
It looks like CPU-Z just detecting it incorrectly. If you look at the Clocks box on CPU-Z, it shows multiplier range from 4-34 equaling a max frequency of 3.4GHz which is on par for the 8100Y. The 7Y30 only boosts to 2.6GHz and your CPU-Z screengrab already shows 2.7GHz so you're golden.
