Yousef: If this is true, then AMD CPU's will fail sooner than INTC CPU's ... FACT.

No, that's NOT a fact.

This would be the fact:

Temperature accelerates failures whether they be device or defect related.

You cross-device conclusion may or may not be valid, but certainly cannot be considered FACT based upon the evidence available.

For any given device, your FACT applies. Thus, a given PIII running at 50°C would last longer than the same PIII running at 70°C. Same would apply for any other given device.

However, once you start changing operating frequency, you don't have enough information to predict relative reliability. This would apply even more for changes in voltage and process technology (incl. feature sizes, oxide thickness etc).

AMD appears to allow their chips to run at higher junction temperatures
than INTC. If this is true, then AMD CPU's will fail sooner than INTC CPU's ... FACT

AMD chips are designed and produced to be able to run at higher temperatures. That doesn't mean that you have to run it at a higher temperature.
