HTC has tweeted today that the upcoming Sense 3.0 UI overlay will not be headed to older HTC devices, and will just work on the EVO 3D, the Sensation and the Flyer tablet.
Said the company (Twitter):

Due to Sense's hardware requirements, only our newest devices (Flyer, EVO 3D, Sensation) will be able to support it.

From the response, it appears that devices with single-core processors under 1.5GHz will not be able to support the updated UI, as the new phones have dual-core processors and the tablet has a single-core 1.5GHz.
However, not all is lost, HTC says they are working "to incorporate other aspects" of Sense 3.0 to their upcoming updates for older devices.
