I'd like to through my experience:
I was in charge of 300+ x86 rack servers and around 50 desktops for 3 years and never seen a single CPU fail, even old Pentium 4 with dusty fans.
Disk failures are very common, followed by much rarer RAM chips and motherboards failures.
I suspect server chips are rated for 10-15 years average lifespan
