Don't be in a rush, they don't have any processors to replace yours with.
No 13900K, no 14900K, no 14900KS and from what users over on Reddit have shown people are being quoted six weeks or more. I have two processors they cannot replace and offer only a refund, leaving you with a useless motherboard unless you take the refund and purchase a processor from a retailer who may have one of the defective oxidized units.
With some of the timelines being shown in screenshots it looks like some people won't have a replacement CPU until after the launch of Arrow Lake. There's something grotesque about celebrating the launch of your latest product while users you claimed you were committed to supporting go without the previous.
This feels like it's a push to get people not to replace and for ones who wish to replace, to kick the can down the road until they can offer a Core Ultra SKU to customers instead, who will still need a new motherboard. Either way feels like a push because Intel knows something they're not sharing.
