It depends on several factors.
- How many chips were sold with oxidized vias (Mandatory return approval) or lawsuit.
- How is the microcode patch going to affect the chips? Slower than spec = (Mandatory return approval) or lawsuit for false advertising.
- 13th and 14th gen degradation. Are the chips going to last a reasonable lifespan or cr-p out over time?
- The above mentioned issues seem to be in laptop chips also. Vendors are not going to eat the cost for rework of a processor issue when people start demanding returns or money back.
- Could be sued by server farms for lost revenue due to faulty chips.
