) reported that the man was apprehended attempting to cross from Macau to mainland China on June 29. Customs officers observing incoming travelers believed the man"was walking in an abnormal posture". A subsequent search by officers led to the discovery of 306 CPUs wrapped in plastic film and tape across the man's waist, legs, and back.
The brand of CPUs was not disclosed, but one of the pictures released by Qingmao Customs does show a handful of them and my guess is they're LGA 2066 CPUs. They're not the latest and greatest CPUs, which is interesting in and of itself. Why smuggle older CPUs? Is it for tax avoidance or minimization? Are these engineering samples? Were they destined for a Chinese marketplace?
Perhaps they were meant for a megalomaniac's supercomputer being built as part of a plot to destroy the world. Unless the Chinese customs department decides to tell us, we'll never know. Just last week, a smuggler was caught carrying 420 M.2 SSDs , while last December, a woman was caught with 200 CPUs and nice iPhones
