You are right, they aren't related per se.
I was alluding to replacing the idea of holding on to a Pentium 4 with buying a modern, more eco-friendly, but ultimately just as anemic, CPU.
Not a perfectly representative test, sure, I just felt that it was a good compromise between "test your code on weak machines" and "be environmentally responsible".
So yep, I did conflate weak CPU with low-wattage CPU, you are right.
