I will go out and say that it's not CPUs which are ageing poorly, it's the web that is getting too bloated for everyone. Hacker news is the signature example of how much utility you can get out of simple HTML/CSS. I really see little need for the behemoths that are Facebook's and Twitter's modern interfaces (which in turn make old laptops feel slow, even when they're not).
