Intel will absolutely minimize any concern about the manufacturing problem and focus on the microcode, quietly deny any permanent damage concerns, and do everything in their power to avoid a recall. For big buyers like data centers they'll capitulate, but for everyday consumers they'll resist as much as they can.
- paulmd 2y agothis is funny because it’s going to be the opposite. tray processors and even retail units both get reduced warranty in the datacenter and the people who are going to get screwed are those with a chip failing at 18 months or whatever, since that’s technically still out of warranty and consumer protections don’t typically apply to commercial operators. Consumers will be fine.
