I think the big institutional clients are always evaluating AMD, and even more exotic options. But I don't think this bug has materially affected the equation here. Savvy buyers understand that there will occasionally be bugs, and this one has already been mitigated. How Intel verbally responds to the issue matters much less than their actions, because the words do not affect the costs of using their products, and the actions do.
I am deeply skeptical of the commentary on Intel's attitude and press releases. I really doubt that matters much to most buyers.
