In reality they could probably argue standard depreciation on a product and offer the remaining value as a discount towards a working product... only there currently aren't any equivalent products on the market. AMD's CPUs are still affected by lower profile variants of this, but aren't as /horridly/ broken.

This could work for older models, but their flagship $15,000+ each (in bulk trays) are also affected. So its hard to argue depreciation on <2 month old silicon.
