Wouldnt it depend on work loads? My GPU that kicks into high gear for maybe 2-3 hours a week will probably do decades of use before chip degradation kicks in. The power capacitors will give out long before the silicon does.

But it someone is running an LLM 24 hours a day, might not go for as long.

We are flying blind, both on those claiming short life span and those who are not.
