They also should have replaced anyone’s flawed chip to begin with, instead of only replacing certain people’s flawed chips. Intel tried to satisfy their customers by saying it wasn’t a big issue that would affect many people, but soon after they had to start replacing flawed chips in order to satisfy their customers. They first only replaced people flawed chips if they could prove they needed it replaced, but after many people weren’t satisfied by this, they decided to replace anyone’s chips if they needed it replaced. If the same thing were to happen today, the company would probably quickly learn about the issue and try to pull the flawed chip from store shelves, as well as put out a
Professor Nicely discovered this issue in June of 1994 but was unable to eliminate other factors until October of 1994. He reported the problem to Intel and they admitted that they were aware of the bug since May of 1994. When Intel finally announced the bug, they originally said that they would only replace chips for users that require high-accuracy calculations, but when IBM publically refused to sell computers with faulty chips, Intel offered to replace all flawed Pentium processors. Because Intel chose to keep the flaw quiet, and because they originally refused to recall the product, they caused a great public outcry. Their mistakes also ended up costing them over $475 million and damaged their image.

They began to do test on whether or not the microprocessor was flawed.

401(K) has become ineffective because of the corruption of big business, the misunderstanding of and as a result a mishandling of the 401(K) accounts, and its correlating dependency on the market’s success. Making profit is important to people.

This forces the employee to save without any effort but, due to this, workers began to neglect the social security and entirely dropped the use of the original pension plan.
