I wonder if cloud providers will ask Intel for partial refunds when their CPUs get 5% to 30% slower than promised?



Why? They pass it on to customers. More interesting if Google or Facebook will react. They could need up to a data centre each to compensate for that (I assume both have very syscall heavy applications). Maybe not suing Intel but pouring more money into the development of competing chips
