According to the video, the behavior the interviewed guy sees in his database of failing servers is that some CPUs are affected and some apparently aren’t. He had a very high rate, ~50% of CPUs in systems that he looked at were affected, but that the ones that weren’t just appeared to work normally. So even if you had an affected model, you might not be affected. Luck of the draw.

Note that I think this was with the data center samples, which run the systems 24/7. The prevalence isn’t as high with regular consumer use (but still way too high). The data centers also didn’t have any problems at all with the 12900K.
It sounds like these CPUs may be degenerating with use, so some can start out good and then turn bad after a few months. You’d never be sure whether you had a good one or just a bad one that hadn’t revealed itself yet.

What a crazy defect with such a high prevalence. That’s really pretty crazy
