Default Intel sent CPU's

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?

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

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

before recieving the CPU you need to sign a warranty letter saying that if CPU dies - you will compensate it's price to Intel
