Are DRAM chips more vulnerable to damage caused by electromigration? If the required current is defined by the frequency, wouldn't these high clockspeeds(+4GHz 24/7 use) and thus high currents flowing trough CPUs kill them very quickly? Or are CPUs just much more resistant/durable by default currents and temperatures? Could have alot to do with manufacturing process and methods (high-k & metal gates etc.) used.
