I see the desire to err on the side of caution, plus the desire to put pressure on Intel to modify the license, but I'd argue it's overkill.
It is just ridiculous from my angle. Their primary sales argument is to be on top of the list of each benchmark out there. They probably forgot about that.
But this is more about a slight change to hide that they messed up *massively* here and a very bad attempt to cover it up. Now they got a proper Streisand going. Well done Intel.

I'm all for holding off on this as a principle thing, as it's clear that Intel's lawyers are trying to pull a fast one. From a practical standpoint, though, it's probably less of a problem.
