Key Takeaways:

If you or someone you know has had any system instability issues with their 13th or 14th gen Intel processor/CPU, GN recommends on immediately filing an RMA with Intel even if a previous one was rejected.
If you're an owner of a 13 or 14th gen, please update the BIOS as soon as you can and keep an eye out for newer microcode patches/AGESA updates from Intel coming in mid-late August 2024.
Please continue to be informed/vigilant when buying second-hand/used Intel 13 and or 14th gen CPUs as you probably don't want to buy a defective CPU.
