Intel sent CPU's

[eppikk]

I've been seeing alot of people receiving CPUs from Intel (Confidential CPUs?)

I just wanna ask:

Do you guys ASK for the CPU's (if so how, and what is needed to get one)

Or do they simply send you one cuz you got a high reputation?

[jmke]

high profile OCers will get them from Intel PR to push/publish interest the community. Intel has regional offices, some PR folk are more "giving" then others;)

I called the local Intel contact once and asked for em - been getting bits and pieces ever since :)

Not all Intel offices are so friendly.
Some may require a review or any publicity to back up sending of CPU.

K so ill trie sending them an email.

Tough im kinda confused. What should i tell/ask them, and what arguments should i give

xT0m you said you where getting bits and pieces ever since (explain?) do they send you stuff they dont need, or faulty ones?

[xt0m]

Well, not me as a person but Team Denmark in this case.
If Intel are happy with the results, its usually stuff to keep.

I tought so :)


Anyways i check the Portugues Intel website, and they dont even have a phone number / email adress there, for the national offices

I've never seen, heard of or signed such a letter tho.

[jurek]

i guess it hard to burn it unless someone is pushing to far... i guess that first are problems with stability than if someone pushes it dies rite?

[TaPaKaH]

xt0m, at least that's how it works in the Baltics ;)

I don't doubt ya, m8 :)
Just sayin' I've never been uh "served" processors in that manor :P
