    A lot of older equipment actually wastes more electricity.

    But it will cut down on electronic waste.

      Not necessarily.

      A i5-6500 has a TDP of 65W while a i5-13600K has a TDP of 150W.

      If you get something modern that has the performance of a i5-6500 it will be a little bit more efficient. The key is that more performance uses more power.

        13600K

        If you buy a high watt CPU, that’s on you. Ryzen 7 also came out in 2022 and had many 65 watt cpus that could outperform an i5-6500.
