AMD attempted to troll Intel yesterday by offering 40 winners of the company's Core i7-8086K sweepstakes the opportunity to trade their prize for a Threadripper 1950X, noting that it has more cores, cache, and PCIe lanes. The accompanying commentary made it sound as though Intel's time had passed, like an aging superstar (Kobe Bryant's final season, if anyone needs a point of reference), and that AMD was ready to take the reigns. Have a look:

Intel could have ignored AMD's backhanded compliment, but where's the fun in that? Instead, it offered up a humorous response, telling AMD it could have just asked if it wanted a Core i7-8086K so badly.
