Weren't they pretty straight up saying it was a microcode issue with a patch coming out? Affecting 65 watt+ CPUs which also wasn't in the limelight since only the high end i7/i9 CPUs were seeing significant failures being reported. I'd imagine a mini PC would be pretty safe.
They confirmed that there was a range of CPUs affected by a fabrication issue outside of the press release that went to media. So while we know about the i7/i9, manufacturing process is often shared between different CPU models and with Intel being opaque about what they found it's hard to understand what actually happened and what's truly unaffected.

At this point, it is not a technical issue but also a trust issue:
They started with people overclocking their CPUs and that is the cause.
They moved on to the mainboard vendors are the bad guy.
Now they are at we screwed up but the microcode update will fix everything and yes we had oxidation issues we told nobody about and no we won't recall those units we know are faulty (oxidation issue).
I think Intel now says it is everything with 65W+ TDP.
