I think "rounding error" is probably the closest term I can think of. A quick back of the envelope estimation says erasing 1 byte at 1GHz will increase an average silicon wafer 1K° in ~10 years, that's hilariously lower than I'm used to these things turning out to be, but I'm normally doing relativistic stuff so it's not really fair to assume they'll be even remotely similar.
