Intel will advertise these chips, and claim they have many in stock. They will take preorders in Bitcoin. The lead times will balloon out to several months, under the guise of "burn in testing". People will be angry at not getting their boards, and attempt to cancel their pre-orders. As they pre-ordered in BTC, however, they will not receive the same value back as they ordered, due to fluctuations in the price. A handful of people will receive their devices late, and by then the difficulty curve will have ramped up, making these devices not cost effective.
