Did anyone win an 8086K Anniversary Edition Processor

Also you are correct on all counts.
Apparently Z390 is a rebadged Z370.... so effectively a rebadged Z170....

And this because the original Z390 was a 10nm chip that wont come out.

People are going to be disappointed if the Z390 turns out to be just a rebadged Z370...

Yep. But given that mass production 10nm is more than a year away, solutions need to be found.

Also the "new" 14nm Z390 rebadge is dead end also, assuming Intel doesn't produce another round of 14nm chips.
But by that time those 14nm behemoths come out, they will be facing 7nm Zen 2, and if Intel tries to pull that scam, then they do no deserve a single penny until my last breath on this planet.

Only if you're prepared to check them all later xD

But maybe I should have used my personal, freelance, and two work email addresses Although I wouldn't be too surprised if they were logging IP addresses so multiple eddiew@somethings from the same location would probably have gotten me blacklisted anyway

Lol I wasn’t trying to cheat. I suggested to him it’s worth a shot and he won and I never.

If he doesn’t use it hopefully he’ll get me in the secret Santa this year

I think I won one!

Got an email saying:

Hello,

Thanks for your entry in the The Intel® 8th Gen Core™ i7-8086K Limited Edition Processor Sweepstakes! We’re pleased to inform you your entry has been selected as a potential Grand Prize Winner!

And a link to fill in my address details. Hopefully it is genuine the 'potential prize winner' has me a bit worried.

 

[IT Troll]

Conga rats! I think you are a potential winner until you claim your prize and it is confirmed.

 

[mistersprinkles]

Thanks for your very kind offer. If you don't mind I'll hang fire for the time being.

That's cool I was just joking. BTW how do you "hang" fire? It's not really a physical object that you can pick up and hang on something AFAIK.

^This is straight pornography. All those sexy threads just sitting there... all threaddy... Mmmhmm.

 

[Gerard]

How were you meant to enter anyway? First I've heard of it.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Ireland wasn't eligible anyway. Most countries weren't.

I entered as did quite a few others I know, but no dice
