The current trend in processors seems to be a streamlining process to improve performance (and the transition to multiple cores), rather than pure megahertz bumping. I'd say that's a little harder to accomplish. Perhaps the performance gap between each new generation will get closer and closer until technology finds a miraculous new way. That said, I got my notebook (iBook G4) about half a year before the transition to Core Duos. Now that's a huge jump in performance I cannot help but envy. It seems you have a point there.
