It's a bit disingenuous to suggest that Intel's price segmentation is on par with intentionally letting people die.

Look at it from another perspective: Say there's a company making gummy bears, and they sell the red gummy bears for 2x the price of the green gummy bears, although they cost the same in production. Would you claim that this company is acting immorally?

If they ship some red ones mixed in with the rest in the normal bags, and then go around suing people who say "hey you can get some red ones by just buying regular bags" then they would be ridiculed.
