I don't see intel offering new cpus. As stated above, the micro-architecture needs to be changed (as I understand it). Then, let's say intel DOES offer a new cpu. Think it'll have the same pin layout as the one you have? Think intel will send you a mobo? Do you think the RAM will be compatible (for those with DDR3 mobos)? Think intel will pony up new ram?
The best I see is some sort of class action where current cpu owners (purchased after intel new about the flaw...if, indeed, it can be legally classified as a flaw), getting a few buck each.
If my past luck with lawsuits of this type hold, the end user settlement will be a coupon for a few bucks off my next purchase, with a 90 day expiry, for an Intel CPU + MB. Of course, the lawyers get paid in cash.
