he "botched" moniker is because it apparently resulted in ugly bin splits. A small number of fast chips, and a lot of really slow ones. Nope. Never happened. While nobody every gets as many highspeed parts as they'd like, the notched gate worked quite well and Intel had good binsplit considering the design pipeline depth. AMD had a higher speed part which sold very well and made them a lot of money but that was because they had a better design, not due to an Intel process problem. Dell was the only one to actually ship it and, after the recall, apparently only a couple of dozen machines all together the entire time it was on the market. Exactly, so it doesn't quit qualify as a major disruption in Intel's ability to supply the volume market.
