The statement is actually quite plausible if read literally:ĭo we really think that Garcia would have just shrugged and not bought a computer? No, seems unlikely. They can, and should, do better and nothing less than a cash payout will result in them paying proper attention to security moving forward. While I'd take a credit towards my next purchase it would need to be something I could combine on one purchase from each of my affected Intel CPUs or I'll opt out and sue them personally in small claims. I honestly don't think there's a huge financial impact on me but on my main rig it's more than minimal since i use VMs a lot and a performance hit there is not trivial.

A cash payout would be just that, even if it's a dollar per CPU.įull disclosure, I have half a dozen Intel CPUs running right now in PCs in my home, not counting my Macbook Pro and however many may be in non-computer devices (unlikely I'd guess). While we all make mistakes, companies like Intel don't learn until and unless they're forced to take a major financial hit.

Clearly AMD managed to get it right more so than Intel despite significantly fewer resources. Intel knew, or should have known, better.
