Per chip is a bit misleading - the technology started running into barriers, so they just added more cores and increased die sizes. On top of that, clock speeds stopped going up, because energy dissipation from non-reversible switching became insurmountable. Not everything can be done in parallel, and software hasn’t really kept up with what can be done, so yeah old computers still work fine once you pull the bloat off. Meanwhile, good luck running Windows Vista on a computer from the mid-90’s.
