Custom computer provider Puget Systems has released its Most Reliable Hardware of 2025 report, and it makes for some interesting reading. While the most reliable consumer processor category seems to have been a tough one to call, the company says that the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K was the most reliable individual chip overall, with a mere 0.77% failure rate across its sample size.
Puget Systems also gives a shoutout to AMD's Ryzen X3D processors as having a better track record than its regular 9000-series chips, with a 1.51% failure rate, while Nvidia's Founders Edition GPUs are said to be the most reliable GeForce RTX cards sold by the company in 2025, with a mere 0.25% failure rate overall.
