Yes, but then who will dare to buy from them in future?
Anyone who ritualistically buys Dell. I believe Intel is on the record as having called Dell "the best friend money can buy."
So that's the thing, realistically. If this affected just consumer chips that you can buy off the shelf, sure. A bit of market lost, but the OEMs and the data center clients are still there.
But this time it's all different. Intel fucked everyone's stuff up, and said they're not doing anything about it.
That will certainly not go unnoticed.
They're not doing a recall, but that doesn't mean they won't somehow compensate big OEMs for their warranty issues.
