I suspect there are going to be many lawsuits all over the globe about this. The situation is so bad and so expensive Intel has decided to weather all those lawsuits and class actions instead of doing a recall. That suggests to me odds are everything they have made since the 13th Gen is soon for an early tech graveyard.
recall, immediately foot the bill and still have to fix something they probably haven’t fix yet. (the article mention maybe microcode update in August. )
taking lawsuits, they can drag it on and buy themselves time to figure out how to deal with it.
the legal side thing is, unless the claimant can prove that intel “knew” about this and still selling the broken item, there is not much they can do about it other than going through warranty process and get a replacement. However, now many outlet prove that to be a case from small companies to big data centers, they can’t keep selling those units as if they are not broken. Some thing needs to be done properly(like as MS for a mandatory update if detect such CPU or work with MB for BIOS update with a feature block) from their legal dept and make sure new buyers have ways to mitigate it.

Obviously did the maths where lawsuits would cost less than a recall
