I tend to imagine that if Intel were doing this they’d do a better job of it. Even if CTS-Labs are completely legit, the way it’s been done has led to immediate suspicion of the claims and people involved, in a way that feels much more like a small group straining for attention or to make a quick buck and making a bit of a mess of it. If Intel were involved, I’d expect it to be done more professionally and simply better, so that people don’t suspect foul play and go looking for problems. It is possible for a company to deliberately obfuscate the trail by doing it this way, at the probable cost of some effectiveness (though if the claims are overblown it might perhaps be more effective this way), but it seems less likely.
