Near the bottom, the article currently states:

"Other vendors using Atom C2000 chips include Aaeon, HP, Infortrend, Lanner, NEC, Newisys, Netgate, Quanta, Supermicro, and ZNYX Networks. The chipset is aimed at networking devices, storage systems, and microserver workloads."

I'm guessing that may represent what OP meant (?)

It says other vendors are using the chip, but there's no data on failures of other devices. We don't know what causes the chip to fail, but it's possible that Cisco's application may be uniquely, or at least uncommonly, susceptible.
Lots of reports from people using other boards with the C2000s having failures after a few months. The Asrock board is common in NAS's because of the 12 SATA ports. Most of the failure reports are similar.
