That's not the way. The tech press isn't powerless here. The media that has been performing such benchmarks for decades and have thus earned a large and faithful audience can organize and simultaneously publish the relevant benchmarks in the US, complete with an unapologetic disclosure right at the top as to the why this is happening. Put Intel into the position of suing every significant member of the US tech media and create a 1st amendment case, or perhaps try to single out some member and create a living martyr to which we can offer our generous gofundme legal defense contributions over the decade it takes to progress through the courts. Either way Intel creates a PR disaster for itself. Sack up and call their bluff. There are MILLIONS of people that will stand behind that courage. At some point the share holders will feel it and this nasty crap will end.
