Intel Extends Warranty of Boxed 14th & 13th Gen CPUs By Two Years In Light of Instability Issues

https://wccftech.com/intel-extends-warranty-boxed-14th-13th-gen-cpus-two-years-instability-issues/

So 5 year warranty in total. Not bad.

Not bad? I'd call that the absolute minimum effort of damage control from Intel. They really should have done better. No wonder are they looking down the barrel of a potential class action lawsuit right now.

Intel Xeon 6 “Granite Rapids” series specs leak: up to 128 cores, 500W TDP and 504MB cache

So basically Raptor Lake on server platforms. With the current fiasco, why would anybody dare to use those in their servers?

They're also extremely power-hungry. A Zen 4c-based Epyc 9754 with the same amount of cores and threads has a higher base clock (which in servers is much more important than the boost clock since they tend to stay are the all-core boost level, which is generally the base clock or slightly higher) yet a TDP of just 360W compared to the 500W of Granite Rapids.
