Who do you think wrote the spec here?

Ok, so your saying Intel wrote a poor spec and implemented to that spec, so no fault of theirs because “we implemented to the spec”?

I didn't say it was no fault of theirs. But it does really matter, to Intel, and their (large-scale) customers in terms of liability.

So Intel is still liable then.
