<They can simply let the customers decide wether they want serialized parts with ID or parts with permanently fixed numbers.>

How do you inform the customer? Label the ID-less chips as "Pentium ||| Anonymous"? "Private Pentium |||"? "Saving Private Pentium"? (Sorry, that was awful, I know.)

Unless this ID thing gets way out of control, I don't think Intel will be winning any converts by offering a separate version of the Pentium III without the ID. People who choose Intel won't care either way, and the people who do care about the ID will just choose a non-Intel processor instead.
