This is some interesting stuff and of course makes totally sense, but the guy in the video is right when he says that people are mostly paying attention to specs instead of the failure rate. Now that I think about it, the failure rate should actually be much more the target of research before making a purchase. I'll include myself here, have never really paid attention to the failure rate, but had some troubles in the past.

Now I am asking myself, how long would a company of Intel's calibre need to fix failure rate issues? It's hard to imagine, but is that like an issue from the ground up where they can't adjust processes and manufacturing details within a year or so?
