Intel responds towards AMD viral exchanging 8086K for a Threadripper 1950X
So that news item we wrote yesterday about AMD creating a bit of a pun by Exchanging your 8086K for a Threadripper 1950X? Well, Intel responded through the Intel gaming Twitter account (which 'were sure is part of the team with ex-AMD members). Have a peek after the break what they posted.
There you go, you can just feel the love between the two companies eh?:

I'm pretty sure AMD saw this coming when they launched their little joke campaign. But what does it matter? It was still funny, and I admit Intel's reply is funny as well.
Over the years, in various places in the internets, I've posted plenty of humorous comments with an obvious loophole for a smart reply, precisely hoping someone would use the opportunity to make the joke last longer. Sometimes it has happened, sometimes not. It most certainly doesn't mean I'd have failed in either case.

A measured response from Intel but AMD were hardly suggesting they wanted an 8086K CPU with their comment:
Intel have forgotten how to compete...their 28-core overclocking shenanigans only emphasise this.
Buildzoid suggested this chip would probably do 4.2-4.3GHz overclocked on air.

We appreciate the advancements they’ve helped drive with the x86 architecture over the last four decades. But, we’re ready to take it from here.

Oh sorry, we were so excited during the demo that we forgot to mention the CPU was overclocked...or that it was using a heavily modified aquarium chiller to cool it.

AMD should just reply by asking if delidding voids the warranty on their new 8086's...

I saw that video, i am pretty sure he was saying it was watercooling since depending on the voltage 4.3Ghz would be around 500w of heat.

Well, joke is on AMD there. Because while delid of intel's chip voids warranty, it still works afterwards, while AMD's chip is dead.
To the intel's reply: User comments below that reply are proof that while funny, intel is no longer favorite of crowd. I think AMD should dare intel to donate few dozens of those chips to them. And then AMD should redistribute them to charity.

I would find it funny if AMD responded sth like "I see your six, here is an extra 12"! or maybe they could raise by 22 when the next threadrippers are ready

I think that's a great reply from Intel. I would still rather have the Threadripper though.

You haven't made any point here, at all. Linus delidded a threadripper and successfully swapped his name printed IHS from the non functional chip in the review kits to it.
Bye.

Bye.
Did he soldered new IHS back? If not, he decreased cooling performance and introduced need to exchange TIM from time to time.
I hope you did not consider delid as something people do because they can, since they do it because of cooling.

That exactly what I thought when I saw AMD statement
Well played, Intel.
I mean... Hey Intel, it's me, AMD. Send 8086K please
