software flaws are fixable. but intel processors. all of them. are not fixable. and software based fixes would reduce performance by as much as 30%. so unless intel promises to replace all these processors for free, they are liable for selling products that would not deliver the performance customers paid for. samsung got sued for batteries purchased from a third party. they replaced/refunded all phones free of cost. intel of course is in no position to replace potentially billions of processors. plus they do even seem to have processors in production which are free of this flaw. so even the new processors being sold today in the market are affected by this flaw and they would continue to be sold for months if not years.
