The likely off-ramp for Intel, in the absence of further procedural defenses, would be a settlement – a trial runs the risk of a significant damage award. The case isn't yet destined for trial as there are more procedural steps along that road.

Intel's recent Atom, Celeron, Pentium chips can be lulled into a debug mode, potentially revealing system secrets."For the seven plaintiffs who purchased computers after September 1, 2017, they have alleged enough facts at this stage of the proceedings to survive Intel's motion to dismiss on the grounds of failure to state a claim." "Based on plaintiffs' allegations, it is not clear that Intel had a countervailing business interest other than profit for delaying disclosure for as long as it did (through the holiday season), for downplaying the negative effects of the mitigation, for suppressing the effects of the mitigation, and for continuing to embargo further security exploits that affect only Intel processors," the judge wrote in his order.
