My take is that Intel issues in the past have not affected profitability, so it's unlikely that this one will.
When investors see that there are operating system fixes for it, and that those fixes apply to AMD and ARM processors, it doesn't seem like a big deal. It doesn't look like there's going to be a massive recall of it, and there are no issues going forward.
So, while it's technically a BFD, as of now, investors are not seeing how this negatively impacts Intel's ability to make money. Plus, Intel's PR team did a good job at damage control.
If anything, it makes newer chips even more compelling.
