IE8 needing (more) cores and (more) memory certainly looks like respectable fodder for a future system upgrade marketeering. For purposes of comparison, the no-execute flag (also variously known as execute disable) was another recent triumph of marketeering for software and hardware upgrades. That was a notable marketeering success, too, as no-ex didn't effectively address its goals. What's as interesting as the resources required with IE8 is the compatibility with HTML standards.
