Question Is it okay to buy a new CPU that was manufactured 2 years ago?

I just bought a brand new Ryzen 5 7600 through a friend since there was no stock near where I live. After paying, the seller sent me a picture showing that the CPU was manufactured in 2022.
The package is sealed and comes with a 3years warranty, so I assume it should be fine. Just wanted to check if this is something I should be concerned about?

Depending on your country, the mfg. warranty may no longer be available. Usually, you have to be the original purchaser and it must be purchased from an authorized retailer.

A new-in-box CPU from 2022 will be perfectly fine. As long as you're ok with questionable warranty support you shouldn't worry about the age.

I'm buying the CPU from a shop, and the purchase will be in my name. Ill also get an invoice, so the 3years warranty should be valid, right?. Country is india
