Adding a backdoor seems unreasonable but they may have chosen performance over security. Even if this individual bug wasn't intentional they are responsible for setting their priorities.

There are CPUs available which choose security over performance. They aren't made by Intel, but you can buy them, and they're even cheaper.

Oh, you don't want to do that?
