**Summary:**

1. **Extended Warranty for Affected CPUs** : Intel has announced a two-year warranty extension for its 13th and 14th-generation desktop CPUs, increasing the total warranty period from three to five years. This move comes after ongoing issues with CPU stability and customer concerns.

2. **Root Cause and Patch** : The instability has been attributed to “elevated operating voltage.” Intel is working on a patch expected to be released in mid-August to address the underlying issue. However, this patch will not repair already damaged CPUs.

3. **Support for Pre-Installed CPUs** : For CPUs that come pre-installed in systems, Intel advises customers to reach out to their PC manufacturers for support. The company continues to handle warranty claims through its established channels for boxed CPUs.
