well I don't know on my puter when you hit the submit button it does nothing. it fact it doesn't even tell you what you are suppose to submit. I'm guessing your email.

I put my email and country in and it said I was entered.

[John P. Myers]

Yep email in the first field, country in the 2nd, then click submit

Edit: This chip is still under NDA for another 11-12 hours. All i've seen so far is "accidental" retail listings at $480 but could actually be $400. It's 6c/12t and is also a limited edition celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 8086 CPU as i mentioned maybe a month ago (https://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php?11193-Intel-About-to-Release-New-8086K-CPU&p=130884&highlight=8086k#post130884)in another thread. Base clock is 4GHz and Turbo is 5GHz. 95W TDP. June 8th release.

If you win, AMD is offering to take your 8086K and give you a 1950X 16c/32t CPU instead, for free, even though they sell for a few hundred dollars more. First 40 American winners only. AMD is going after Intel hard
