It's quite clear: 'Seagate does not maintain any information on device failure rates or failure rates that may exist due to the above related bulletin."
They track the failure rates (as a matter of course, as above) but they have no metrics relating to the Atom Failure, probably because Intel is using an NDA clause to make them feed the metrics to the shredder.
As has been said, this will hurt Intel; but it will severely impact the vendors' relationships with their clients/customers. Intel is more than willing for the vendors to take the brunt of the wrath.
