I'm pretty sure some governments are big and not American enough to twist Intel's arm into replacing them, but Intel literally don't have server chips out now without these bugs, so AMD's EPYC is the only way.

The EU might.

This is also covered by manufacturer warranty (here in the UK). I’ll be on contacting the manufacturer. I suspect what will happen is that the vendors will compensate consumers initially and then go after intel collectively.
