HANG ON BEFORE YOU HIT THE DOWNVOTE BUTTON!

They don't need a recall. If your processor ain't broke yet then the patch will (supposedly) prevent it from breaking and if it's ALREADY broke then Intel will (supposedly) replace it via RMA.

So what's the big fuggin' problem here? That Intel won't use the term "recall"?

Would you say the same thing about a car?

"We know the door might fall off but it has not fallen off yet so we are good."

The chances of that door hurting someone are low and yet we still replace all of them because it's the right thing to do.

These processors might fail any minute and you have no way of knowing. There's people who depend on these for work and systems that are running essential services. Even worse, they might fail silently and corrupt something in the process or cause unecessary debugging effort.

If I were running those processors in a company I would expect Intel to replace every single one of them at their cost, before they fail or show signs of failing.

Those things are supposed to be reliable, not a liability.
