Last time I checked, a consumer grade CPU has expected lifespan of 20-30 years, so your CPU is still in its young adult years

- timthorn 7y agoThe rough date you checked will be relevant - as CPUs move to smaller process nodes, they become more susceptible to this type of failure.

With mass-manufactured products, if you got a device from a batch that was a few percentage points out of tolerance, the thermal stress can cause issues more quickly than if you didn't introduce the thermal stress.
