HOWEVER!!! WTF are manufacturers thinking!! OMG if AMD or Intel had a 3% failure rate of CPU's coming off the line they would start lining up people in front of a firing squad because that is a rediculously high failure rate for electronics!!

Something with NO moving parts should have a failure rate of about 3 in 10,000.
I work in a field where the accepted failure rate for a fairly complex electronic control unit is 3 in 1,000,000.
