higher CPUs last longer?

[Skeithex]

So got an odd question at work today, had a couple come in saying they talked to someone at best buy saying that intel's i5 and i7s last longer than the previous version (i5 last longer than i3, i7 lasts longer than i5).

Just wondering if anyone ever heard of this.

The Best buy employee maybe talking about newer CPUs software speeds not slowing down as much in the future. A newer Intel CPU will more likely run software release in the future at a fast speed without as many slow down problems in the future compared to running older versions of the same CPU where there would be more slowdown problems like slow loading times, crashes, and freezes because the CPU does not meet the recommended system CPU requirements for the software.

I think as long as the CPU does not overheat, and run at regular temperatures, it would last very long. There are still a lot of older Windows XP, and Vista computers which still work after many years of use.

Newer CPUs, motherboards, and PC power supplies have better protection from power surges, and heat from damaging the CPU and motherboard. I remember in the past, a lot of pre-built computers came with low quality power supplies which randomly break, and also shocked the motherboard which broke down the entire CPU.

good points, but you never know when one person might just be making stuff up to get the higher sale.

I think sales people sometimes make stuff up sometimes, or make things sound better to get more sales sometimes.

Rust and oxidation on metal connectors can break electronic parts, so an older CPU which is installed on a desktop or laptop computer can break faster than a newer CPU if the metal connectors on the CPU get rusty or oxidation on it because of wet and salt near the ocean, and island, or if the user use a humidifier or boils a lot of water to make the dry air very wet, and humid.

Newer CPU's metal connectors are newer, so it would take more time for the connectors to get rusty and oxidize because of wet and humid air.

Can't say I have seen anything rust inside of a PC, not that I want to since that pretty much leave everything dead.

I seen very old PCs with rust, and other dirty stuff. Metal oxidation where shiny metal eventually turns rough and dull can happen with metal.

Some stores with poor air ventilation, and don't use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to remove some moisture from the air may have their computer parts and computer may rust if the computer parts are not properly wrapped, moisture from the air gets into the computer box, and the maker of the computer parts don't spray an anti-rust spray on the parts.

I hate to get one of those PCs, but insider secret the laptops at the store have their batteries in them and are always charging them. By the time they are clearance out a year later, the battery is dead.
