Intel is having a sweepstakes to give away i7-8086 CPUs. However:

AMD Will Trade Your Intel Core i7-8086 Win For A 16-Core 1950X Threadripper
..if you are one of the lucky winners that get a Core i7-8086 from the Intel Sweepstakes – AMD is giving you a choice to trade that in for a much more powerful CPU..
..it is only valid for the first 40 trades (Intel will be giving away 8086, Intel Core i7-8086 CPUs)..
As a practical matter, this is unlikely to affect any of us. But, its a cute marketing stunt.
