hello

can you tell me please if this has ever crossed your mind:

some of the small cells/chips of the processor seem to somehow get aged, they are burned during the usage of the processor and its abilities decline

I see this in all of my pc's, while they worked well in the previous years, now they don't do it as well, and I use the SAME programs

I would like to see opinions and references on this

is there an age-decline on processors?

thanks

"don't do it as well"?

If a CPU loses pretty much anything, it fails. A "burn" of a couple of microns will destroy the CPU. CPUs are solid state; as long as the power being fed to them is healthy and even current, they theoretically should run forever.

The operating system gets junked up, that's what causes the problems.

Give a ordinary Windows user unnecessary admin rights. Let him do whatever he pleases, like installing every application he finds on the internet, catching some Adware (to name the most harmless case) during the process. Look at the Windows installation after 1 year, Windows decay.

Reinstall. It's as fast as ever.

my 2 cents on that one

He wanted to know about CPU decay. Integrated Chips.

exactly

MS Windows decay is inarguable, but I am talking about having the same OS/software in identical condition

He mentioned before English is not his native language. Easy to mistake.
