I have one of these CPUs. Like most implementations of Gemini Lake, my CPU is soldered to the motherboard. So begging Intel to replace just ain't gonna happen unless the motherboard manufacturer also gets onboard, which is doubtful.
Besides, having a CPU bug fixed in software would not be uncommon for this CPU family or any other CPU family that is vulnerable to any number of more widely seen CPU bugs like "spectre" and "meltdown" and so on.
See the following "lscpu" output:
