Amazon declined return/refund within 1 year

Bought an intel CPU and it stopped working, as within 1 year I called up amazon and used chat as well, declined both times, said I needed to contact intel. 

Is this normal?

I contacted Intel and they said back to Amazon, I am stuck in a circle.

    Are you looking at a warranty or your consumer rights?

    With a warranty, you go to the warranty giver, usually the manufacturer.

    With your consumer rights, you are outside of the 6 month from purchase, so therefore the onus is on you to prove any fault is inherent.  Consumer rights are between you and Amazon.

    I had issues with other tech goods last year and they refunded/replaced no issues, it seems this year they have been more stricter and saying go to the manufacturer which is disappointing
