I had *exactly* the (very well) described issues here:
  o Really weird corrupted font artifacts.
  o Bizarre semi-tiled blocks on my background screen.

Occurred after doing an upgrade of Ubuntu 20.04 on an Dell XPS 7590.

Running the suggested command:

      sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-intel

And rebooting fixed everything. Thanks very much.
