I never Ran this before but saw a bunch of screenshots from on Amazon where it failed a bunch of Raptor Lake 14th Gen chips where it showed usually followed by a negative review.
I have a 14700K in the mail because my 13700K is shot. I didn't test out my 13700K with this tool but I might later on but don't like moving CPUs around so much like I already have.
I was going to get a Core Series chip but the motherboard I wanted and the 285K chips eneded up being over 900.00 unless I got a cheaper motherboard but didn't want to switch everything out knowing I have a solid board currently.

I tried it on my 13600K's, but they always passed. But, I'd know if something was bad without that tool with crash logs, benchmark failures, etc. If trying to catch degredation, I feel lower benchmark scores would be a better indicator.
 
Intel support sometimes has people run this, when they complain about bad Raptor Lake CPUs. But, Intel has also said this diagnostic tool is not actually a tool meant to detect a Raptor Lake CPU suffering specifically from "VMIN Shift". They don't actually have a tool to reliably detect it without a doubt.

I guess my point is, don't bother trying to run it. And happily await your warranty replacement!
