Is the performance of a CPU affected as it ages?

Is there a thing called 'aging' for electronic items? I mean for example, can my processor (CPU) gets inefficient with time or should it be working as the same efficiency that I bought brand new? What is the reason for this?

Entropy, mostly. Everything deteriorates... to some extent. The hotter they run, the faster a CPU will burn out, though I couldn't tell you how long that would take.
