My data point
The C2000 is also used in a lot of other devices, notably some cheap netbooks.
Interestingly several problems other than complete failure seem to be showing up, I once documented a memory issue on a brand new Acer laptop which caused certain DDR not to work but others would.
Yet an identical MB worked fine with the "bad!" memory so this shows up even on new machines.
Ended up selling it on with a note "Do NOT change RAM!!" taped to the inside of the case.
Incidentally this is why some machines ship with tamper seals and glued in memory as well as BIOS
hard-wired to only accept one type (cough S*ms*n* /cough) and size.
The really strange thing is that radiation damage might be responsible.
I've read somewhere that the smaller feature sizes are slightly less vulnerable to one type of damage but more vulnerable to another so on balance they are indeed more sensitive.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
