Chances of Intel CPU dying?

So, Intel CPUs are dying right?
How concerned should I be, because I have to do coding and CAD projects on 13700/14700 CPUs at my school, because they bought Dell OEM's. I'm concerned that my system will die, and I won't have backed up data, losing progress.

Ok 50% chance.

Get an external drive and back up. There's no way to know if or when an affected cpu will degrade. It's not really something you can worry about on your end though so get a backup.

Welp I gotta remember to not forget my USB's because I doubt my school is smart enough to fix it or even aware of this issue.

Always back up any valuable data

Tether yourself to them

Not knowing how things work at your school, I'd still say you probably should always backup data anyway, if you are on school computers.

13700/14700 + I guess RX 6500 non-XT is pretty high spec for school computers, I think. They probably will know if these expensive assets started dying.

Realistically, next to zero. This thread is what the endless, ceaseless FUD spreading causes...

No, the CPU on your school's computer is not going to die.
No, you won't lose your data if the CPU malfunctions. It'll still be present in the machine's storage.
Yes, a correction is already under development and will be released soon
No, your school will likely not apply it any time soon, unless its IT department is exceptionally competent

Indeed. The chances of someone else accidentally damaging or erasing OP's work is much higher, if it's at all like how school computer worked in my days.

Wouldn't the microcode come with an OS update? If their school keeps their computers' OS updated at all they'd probably get it.

There is only one way out of this. 4 step plan: 1) backup data frequently 2) graduate as fast as possible 3) payoff student loans as fast as possible 4) buy AMD CPU computer before rent a PC takes over the world
