Re: Should Intel (and other chip makers) be held responsible for hardware flaws?

"If it can be shown that intel manglement knew about the bug and yet kept on baking/selling chips regardless then I'd suspect they wont have a leg to stand on"

There are plenty of published show-stopper errata that show Intel doing exactly that over several decades. Customers typically decide that the expense of the lawsuit combined with the publicity that shows their products/services are impacted by it would do more damage than the errata...
