P.s.: if you have an Intel 13th/14th gen chip, especially an i7 or i9, check for BIOS updates and underclock it in order to prevent permanent degradation.
I think if I had one of the affected chips, I'd want it to fail while they're still replacing them for free. It sounds like the various measures data center people are using are only slowing the degradation, not eliminating it. Maybe I'd wait until it's clear the issue is not in the replacement chips though.
The high failure rates that have been reported are in situations where the chips are working hard 24/7. I think for most home users, were not going to see the failures for a few years, which is exactly what Intel is counting on by not doing a full recall.
