Old vs. new hardware is difficult. New hardware can also do the same with lower energy consumption.

It’s impossible to calculate, but the tipping point would be where the saved energy surpasses the energy needed for producing and transporting the hardware.

I’m quite sure that my raspi4 is more powerful, smaller, less noisy and requires less energy than my oldest computer.

The thing is just that they rarely only improve the efficiency.
