Cause the Pentium chip doesn't send info back to Russian intelligence services?

The US has a lot to lose by linking tech firms to intelligence services, but in this case - when an agent of one gov't is hacking another gov't, links to intelligence services are suitable for discussion.

The Pentium was not a Russian design. Seriously, anytime The Register makes a claim, it's generally more accurate to assume the opposite.
