I don't fully agree. My 9-year-old 3rd gen Xeon is still plenty usable, barely slower than a "normal" i5 10th gen for doing Rust dev.
My work PC with a 4th gen i5 has been unusable even for basic tasks for a few years, despite the 16 GB of RAM and SSD drive. Even moving windows around and stuff is sluggish.
