      Or until the new stuff is so much more efficient that continuing to run the old stuff is no longer worth the electricity.

      (With the calculation including manufacturing emissions for the new stuff, BTW.)

          Probably not that new, at least including manufacturing emissions.

          Best I’m willing to guess without research is “newer than mid-1990s,” since I’m pretty sure those are outperformed by <1W microcontrollers these days.
