Typically, a CPU's manufacturing date is printed on its label or packaging. If the CPU is already installed, you can check its production date through the operating system or third-party software. Here are several methods:

1. Searching by Model Number

  • On Windows systems, you can find the CPU model through Task Manager. Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, and locate the CPU name in the CPU section.
  • On Linux systems, run the command lscpu to view detailed CPU information.

For example, if your CPU model is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz, you can search online for "Intel i7-9700K release date" to find its manufacturing date.

2. Using Third-Party Software

Various system information utilities can display detailed CPU specifications, including manufacturer, model, clock speed, temperature, and production date.

Recommended tools:

  • CPU-Z (Comprehensive CPU information)
  • HWMonitor (Hardware monitoring with temperature readings)
