I agree with most of what you said, so cherry picking one thingy to reply to isn't my intention, but

"And some bugs just take a while to find and fix."

I think it's less that it took awhile to find the bug/etc, more so that they've been pretty much radio silent for six months. AMD had the issue with burning 7 series CPUs, they were quick to at least put out a statement that they'll make customers whole again.

Well as it comes to Intel executive management and PR, I'm entirely unqualified to make any educated comment or speculation about it. I can't say I'm aware of Intel ever having great renown for its handling of product defects though.

Oh, I'm certainly the same, just some rando enjoying my popcorn.
