On the other side of the balance are the "it has nothing to do with the capaciters it is the solder" crowd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0UMG3iVYZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0UMG3iVYZI (ripfelix) It is a long watch, but it goes into a fairly deep dive into the whole affair. The author came to the conclusion that while a small ratio of the problem was the caps or the bga, There was a new process in play where chiplets were bonded to a base(bumps) which was then bonded to the motherboard(bga). And all processing units made with this first generations bonding process had a higher then expected failure rate, That is, the ps3, the xbox360 and nvidea graphics cards of this generation are all failing for the same reason. Having said that, That post is an amazing deep dive into the chemistry of capacitors.
