Re:Ti NE555 – real vs fake: weekend die-shot by DanBC on Monday July 03, 2017 @04:03AM (#14686663)
What's the difference between "counterfeit" and "fake"?

These devices are sold as TI parts, and sold as matching all the TI specs.

They are not TI parts, and they don't match the TI specs.

As the OP says, if these had been sold as "CN555" there wouldn't be a problem, everyone would know that they're not real TI parts.
