New processor generations announced. Performance improvements incremental but real. Power efficiency gains significant. Manufacturing improvements enabling new capabilities. Generational jumps smaller than before. Diminishing returns in single-threaded performance. Gains in efficiency and parallel processing. The trajectory changing. What matters: single core speed or total throughput? Application determines answer. Gaming needs single core. Data processing needs parallelization. The shift reflects computing evolution.
