    If this was an economically scalable proven thing today, phones wouldn’t be sold with batteries in 5 years.

      It is doable, but it’s not practical. Technology moves so fast nowadays, a 10 year old i7 is easilly surpassed by a modern day i3.

      Don’t get me wrong, I use old tech all the time, but it’s becoming increasingly impractical to do so.

          I was talking about desktop CPUs, but the same principle applies to any sort of SoC or CPU. What is “the best” today is surpassed within a month or two.

          This is also why I usually buy second hand computer equpment. There’s no point, it’s extremely expensive the day it hits the market, and in a year, it’s like 1/3 of the price. This is especially true for GPUs.
