Also, the chip obviously doesn't need to wear out to become less preformant over time. Reliability is perhaps the wrong word, I think quality would suit better.
But in any case, if you have one chip that decreases in performance 10% per year due to security mitigations and another chip that remains consistently performant, it is something to consider when shopping.
