There are many ways to to planned obsolescence. I'm sure there is a way to just manufacture the chips such that they degrade in a few years. Planned obsolescence through major security bugs doesn't sound very smart to me. I don't get a vibe that Intel is enjoying this publicity or the presumed replace of those chips. My understanding is that AMD is quite competitive today in the data center.

The Intel C2xxx Chip was faulty and I wonder if there is more to this story. Like CPU degradation due to heat. Maybe the traces on the CPU just can't hold up to heat. The reason I say this is the top end C2750/C2758 seems to be more at risk then the C2338 dual core. This is unscientific just browsing forums. I think this is heat related. Wasn't the C2xxx series also an expensive server SOC. Man these guys are fumbling.
