> Which GPUs have been running for decades that you're referring to? The A100s that are 4 years old? MTBFs for GPUs are about 5-10 years, and that's not about fans.
I said solid state components last decades. 10nm transistors have a thing for over 10 years now and other than manufacturer defect don't show any signs of wearing out from age.

That sounds about the right time for a repaste.
> AWS and the other clouds have a 5-8 year depreciation calendar for computers.
Because the manufacturer warranties run out after that + it becomes cost efficient to upgrade to lower power technology. Not because the chips are physically broken.
