Well at least Intel gives them for Free , while AMD takes something you own in return of what they will Give you.

Intel 1 : AMD 0

here !

Also , Not Fair AMD , Other people who did not have the chance to win Free CPU should have a Chance to win AMD CPU...

Considering a lot of Linux OS's are starting to consider shutting off HT to keep your system secure making that extra money people spent on I7-9 with HT an utter waste one OS has actually shut off the threads. Lets just wait and see what other vulnerabilities pop up for intel that doesn't seem to affect AMD.

So, Intel give away 8,086 units, and AMD give away 40 and people are raving about how awesome AMD are for doing this?

Congrats AMD, you offer an awful sweepstakes and get good PR still?

No, AMD is [strike]taking 40 anniversary edition Intel CPUs out of the market, and replacing them with a much more expensive Threadripper[/strike] taking the spotlight to themselves by being savage on the celebration of their competitor/partner-in-x86. It's not about the chips, it's about the message: "burn, Intel" :D

Also, don't like it, don't trade it. As far as anyone is concerned, it still is a PR win.

Intel's snarky remark back to the TR offer was "@AMDRyzen, if you wanted an Intel Core i7-8086K processor too, you could have just asked us. :) Thanks for helping us celebrate the 8086!"

That's certainly some high-class counter-trolling right there, I must admit.
