Unacceptable, they need to refund everyone with new chips or eat a shitstorm of untold proportions.

Pretty optimistic when the issue doesn't really affect your regular user, at best 0-2% performance loss on everything your regular user does, even some productive users. (Gaming, rendering, encoding etc.)
Also I'm not 100% sure how you can really fault Intel for this issue. Yea, there is the whole security through obscurity thing but you can only fault them fully if they have known the issue for years and still produced CPUs with that flaw.
The nature of that flaw doesn't allow for un-impacted patching and it is not an issue where you can just recall and botch some hardware-fix on the CPU either.
It is a pretty shit situation honestly, all they can really do is attempt to fix it with new upcoming CPUs and even that is a very hard thing to do apparently, with how deep the issue sits.
Refunding or replacing everyones CPU is not feasible at all.

What I am primarily pissed about was how the CEO sold millions in stocks right before it came out
