The other to bear in mind is the steady shrinkage in the size of the die. What you really want is a last-generation processor made using this-generation fabrication.
Let's assume a particle strike causes a 5nm "area of destruction". Do you want that hitting a track that's 10nm wide, or 30nm wide?
In other words, based purely on physical component size, older hardware will be more robust.
Cheers,
