Intel ought to come clean first, make a public statement of intent and and welcome key actors in the industry who have an established reputation of being ethically clean themselves. Until then, nobody can trust Intel. On a technical side, Intel Atom c3000 series have no Hyperthreading. They have a single thread per core. Perhaps they are easier to mantain.
