10 years? Of course not.
But if i bought it yesterday, I'd expect a refund.
Just consider that they were still selling affected CPUs even when they knew about the vulnerabilities and even after the papers were published.

If you bought it yesterday, why wouldn't you be able to get a refund? I don't know of any major vendor that would deny you a refund on grounds that the unit is defective.
I know of no mass refunds (as it was with volkswagen) due to spectre/meltdown, and slowing your pc down by 30% after the first patch, and as it seems losing hyperthreading seems like a defective unit to me.
Have you asked the vendor that sold you your PC for a refund? I don't know if it would work, but that's the avenue you would have to take - including sending your PC back. Then what are you going to buy? Another PC with the same issue?
