Update on In-Field-Scan adventures: Following my message, Intel has now published In-Field-Scan "scan tests" firmware images for Emerald Rapids (Xeon 5th gen), and updated the Linux kernel documentation accordingly.
Still missing are the images for already released CPU families Sierra Forrest and Granite Rapids (Xeon 6th gen). 4th gen Xeon (Sapphire Rapids) won't have a public release of the scan tests firmware images.

They can still do the Array Built-In Self Tests (BIST) which require no firmware at all to test L1/L2 caches, register files, and (SRAM?) data arrays.

Intel's AI Ecosystem and AI PCs | Gestalt IT Rundown: January 3, 2024 - Gestalt IT

Intel has been stepping up their game in the AI ecosystem. Both Meteor Lake and the latest Emerald Rapids Xeon SP processors are being positioned as edge computing powerhouses. From running AI workloads on end-user systems to providing support for AI frameworks throughout the infrastructure Intel is looking to break into the market that is dominated by big players right now. Perhaps we can take a quick look at why Intel sees so much promise here but also the hurdles they'll have to clear to stake a claim.
