Fwiw, I have 3 ThinkPad t420 and t420s running around the household, used daily, they're at about a decade. Just replaced my main desktop which was fx8350, but that computer is now on its 2nd life with a friend and shows no signs of stopping. There was a time when 10 year old computer was absolute rubbish. These days, if you upgrade from spinning drive to ssd, 10 year old well made computers are just fine :) Basically, in 3 decades of personal computing, I never had a CPU failure other than that one time I crushed atlon xp with the heatsink :O
