I thought I saw a report from someone at Google saying that they were still running 7+ year old hardware because of demand. Even if it is not state of the art, if it generates more than the electricity costs, keep it running until it dies.

Efficiency gains have been so intense that old hardware is still viable for serving brand new mid size models.
