I was really surprised by this. Why would you treat your customers as if they are idiots like this and make them lose trust in you? Its not like the main people making purchasing decisions are "the public" either, they should be much more informed than the typical person buying a laptop:

Intel might obey Moore’s Law, but the Pareto Principle (a.k.a the 80/20 rule) is a different story." https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/100214/inside-...

Wasn't their public reaction as it was due to liability concerns? i.e. if they admitted that something was wrong with their chips, they may have gotten into significant legal / financial trouble?
