Threadripper

Scientists have proof that this is the last thing an Intel HEDT CPU will see before it died

Intel fanboy: I'm gonna buy the 10980XE, it's the best of the best right now
People with a brain: The Threadripper 2970X is a thing you know. I'm going to wait for AMD to release the 3990X with 64 cores. That will crush that garbage you call HEDT and the Xeon Platinum at the same time

Blind Threat

A threat you can't prove exists, unsure it even exists, or know it doesn't exist but still use it anyhow.

If you disobey me and go out in the woods at night the Chupacabra will get you and eat you. (Chupacabra is the Blind Threat)

If you don't do what Zeus commands he'll hit you with a lightning bolt and send you to Hades! (Hades and Zeus hitting you with a lightning bolt are both Blind Threats)
