I'm not sure I'd say that Intel "reacted the good way." Having worked in the sc industry, I know there are extensive tests done at every point in the manufacturing process- wafer, packaged, burn-in, etc., before a chip is marked and sold. I dont think there is any way that Intel didn't know that they were selling faulty chips. Either that, or they have some really incompetent people in those space suits.
