Because it won't change Intel's future value if buying decisions don't change. I don't expect people to shift away from Intel because of this so wouldn't expect revenues or income to drop. Unless they get hit with lawsuits (unlikely for a bug), this shouldn't affect their business too much.
- gozur88 9y agoIt's difficult for me to imagine they won't get sued over this, and in a big way. Imagine if you're Amazon or Microsoft looking at a 30% reduction in salable CPU resources. Plus a huge class action suit from consumers based on false advertising or some related claim.
- dx034 9y agoBugs happen. Their verification process was probably subpar but I'd be surprise if lawsuits were successful in this case. I'm not sure if they buy processors from Intel with a performance promise (benchmark values). If not, no promise has been broken with this.
