Unless you have a CPU from 2000, probably it's not worth the energy savings to have a new one produced: > The report about the cost of planned obsolescence by the European Environmental Bureau [7] makes the scale of the problem very clear. For laptops and similar computers, manufacturing, distribution and disposal account for 52% of their Global Warming Potential (i.e. the amount of CO₂-equivalent emissions caused). For mobile phones, this is 72%. The report calculates that the lifetime of these devices should be at least 25 years to limit their Global Warming Potential. https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/articles/frugal-comp... This is for consumer devices btw, probably not if you operate some server farm with high occupancy (steady load on all hardware) |
