It's not progress. It's the price for cheap materials. We demand these things at overly cheap prices and so corners are cut. Personally I'd rather pay a lot more for something that works and will keep working. It's a false economy otherwise.

Its not cheap materials necessarily, its a combination of a limitation of modern CPU design (producing lots of heat) and more moving parts.
