Hi guys. I was looking on the internet for the info on how to find the manufacturing date of the OEM Intel 14th gen CPU and some people say that you can get that from the code written on the lid of the CPU, the first digit is the year and the next two digits are the week. So if, for example, the code is X423M670 that means it was manufactured on the 23rd week of 2024.
Can anyone please confirm if that information is correct?
Also, do you think the stores/dealers that sell those OEM CPUs have any additional info about the manufacturing date of their CPUs provided to them maybe by their suppliers or from somewhere else?
And the last question, do you know if the 14th gen (particularly 14700K) is still being made in 2025 i.e. is it possible to find the 14th gen CPU manufactured in 2025?
Thank you.

This question is distinct from the previous one in its focus on CPU manufacturing dates and warranty considerations.

I believe you're being too detailed. As long as your motherboard has the latest BIOS with the 0x12F microcode and the seller is keeping the warranty active for your processor, you should see good results.

I'm sorry you faced a similar issue before. In that earlier discussion there wasn't a clear solution for determining the manufacturing date. After checking other sources, I wanted to ask if your understanding was accurate. The second link contains the details I referenced previously. However, the first source mentioned that there are no tools or methods to pinpoint the exact manufacturing date. So is the information in the second link reliable?

Additionally, it states "subtracting 3 years." But according to what I know, the warranty for the 14th generation CPUs was extended by two more years, so should you subtract five years?

You're likely right, but I often see others expressing the belief that newer CPUs might be better—like one Reddit user mentioned hoping the process improved after instability issues were resolved. It's understandable to feel reassured having a CPU from 2025, though.
