VW intentionally misled buyers and regulators about the actual emissions of their cars. Unless Intel knew about Spectre/Meltdown when they were designing their chips, it's a pretty different situation legally speaking.
- mtgx 9y agoThey did know. Or at least there were papers about it back in the 90's.
- alkonaut 9y agoAgree. They did sell a product that doesn’t do what customers expect though, but I assume customers weren’t misled by that either simply because Intel don’t put performance figures on the boxes (and the theoretical performance is unchanged - it might be different if a manufacturer would e.g disable half the cache or cut clocks 15% to fix an honest design mistake)
