CPU obsolescence
OTOH everything else has been playing catch up. Disk, Network, Bus etc... Sure my CPU has hit the ceiling, but it spends 95% of its time idle anyway. Broadband five years ago was probably a 3-5Mbps link, and storage was a 7200rpm platter. Now broadband is 20mbps and storage is an SSD.
