Crashing is caused by a confluence of four separate power and voltage bugs.
This was has been ridiculous. I have no idea how long my CPU will last and whether it will just randomly start failing. Intel has run out of spares and it seems to have had so many stabs at fixing the problem now that if we believe this is really the last one we are the fools.
These CPUs need a recall.

Just one more update, we promise this will fix the problem, please don’t force us to recall all the CPUs

I’ve not kept up to date with this but wasn’t the problem that as soon as you run these CPUs they are getting permanently damaged? Surely they have to recall them?

They might be able to make some kind of test that could reliably identify damage.

Every CPU will wear out given enough time. Most of the time that is like 20+ years, so no one cares. The problem is that they where pushing things so hard the CPU was wearing out in 6 months. So all of these CPUs will likely have a reduced lifespans, but they may last long enough to get you to your next upgrade. If you are already seeing crashing issues, it is likely wore out already.
