Due to product line feature differentiation there
are more recent -v1 hardware than the aforementioned
roughly 2008 date, but the one pre-nehalem -v1 system
I still run as an appliance (a core 2 duo) fails to boot
about 10% of the time due to power issues due to
capacitor disease (and I don't feel like re-capping the
motherboard and power supply for a 2008 era system),
so it will finally die or be replaced soon enough.  I
would not be surprised if other such aged desktops
and laptops are not also near hardware end of life
due to other system component lifetime issues.

I will also note that since that -v1 desktop/laptop
systems of the legacy architecture do not support
EPT, even native architecture virtualization is
extremely poor performance wise, which is why I
don't care about qemu on -v1 systems (and don't
have it installed on my -v1 system).  If qemu is
compiled as -v2+ only I would never notice the
difference on that system as I don't even install
it on that system (although I would, presumably,
see the performance enhancements on my
-v2+ desktop).

And if compiling qemu with -v2 has a performance
benefit, that seems to be a positive path forward.
