Intel has extended the warranty period for Core 13th/14th Gen CPUs by an additional 2 years, specifically for CPUs sold separately. Typically, these CPUs come with a 3-year warranty (now extended to 5 years).
This particular group of Intel CPUs has been experiencing stability issues, and Intel has announced that they will address this through microcode updates to prevent power surges. However, for CPUs already affected, the microcode patch has proven ineffective, leading to the decision to extend the warranty period.
This warranty extension only applies to CPUs sold separately. For CPUs bundled with PC brands, Intel advises contacting the respective brand’s support team directly.

TLDR: Intel extends warranty for Core 13th/14th Gen CPUs, due to stability issues and ineffective microcode patch for affected CPUs.
