The 2018 Taipei Computer Show is a surging event, and various manufacturers have offered their final products. Of course, Intel and AMD, the two major PC processor manufacturers, will not miss it. Intel launched the Core i7-8086K processor, the 40th anniversary version of x86 with the Remax up to 5GHz, which is limited to 50000 units worldwide, of which 8086 units will be delivered for free. However, considering the price and "feelings", it is not difficult to buy this processor. However, AMD, an old rival of Intel, has risen again after years of dormancy and has become the most powerful challenger of Intel. Its Ryzen series is constantly encroaching on the share of the desktop processor market. At the Taipei Computer Show, AMD launched the second generation Ryzen ThreadRipper, commonly known as thread ripper, with up to 32 core 64 threads.

Recently, while thanking the old rival Intel for promoting the development of the x86 industry over the past 40 years, AMD's official Twitter announced an activity very mischievously. Users can use Intel's 6-core i7-8086K to replace it with AMD's own 16 core ThreadRipper 1950X for free, which can be said to be very ironic. However, the conditions for this activity are very strict. First, it is only for the US. Second, it is necessary to participate in the Intel Competitor Sweepshots activity. Finally, it is necessary that you are the first 40 users to get the i7-8086K. Considering the interaction between Intel and AMD, it can be basically said that AMD's activity belongs to the business of the two giants.
