500 in Canada, more in other countries. Starts in four hours and runs for
24.

I guess if the US gets 2086 and Canada gets 500 and Quebec is excluded,
odds for Canadians are much better. :)

Thanks.  It takes 2 weeks to find out if you've won?  They must be using ARM server for the draw.

Does this processor suffer from Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities?

Why do you think they're giving them away?  ;-)

Just a big promotional campaign. It is 40 years since the 8086 first hit the
market.
