I don't sign them (in general), but my employer has agreements and I like my job enough to accept that secrecy and embargoes are on occasion a necessary evil.

In this case, however, it was handled horribly. During the embargo period, we kept telling Intel and AMD what they were doing wrong, and they wouldn't listen (or alternatively, they made clear enough that they wouldn't listen that we didn't even try). But really there's little more than I can do than hope that the next time they listen to us.

If only one of them had listened, it might have been an impetus to stick with that manufacturer.
