Really? How many failures here before 100k vs cars running just fine over that mark? Keep your unsupported opinions to yourself.
One of the goals for a big semiconductor company is to build faster CPUs. The other goal is to find a way to use up the CPU cycles to so that you have the need for their next faster chip. Build in obsolescence so they can have a recurring customer. The proper way to do it is through innovation and added value.

BMW admires Apple, I hope they don't expect to model the iPhone where users tend to upgrade every two years.
