If you made a plot where the X axis was time and the Y axis was synthetic benchmarks, what would the graphs look like for CPUs and GPUs? Is the pace of improvement slowing? I feel that way. Haswell is only marginally better than Ivy.

Hi,

You are right, right now the smallest they can go is 10 nm, and right now we are at @ 22 nm.
Also, @ 10 nm it is really expensive and lover than 10 cause interference problems between components. This is also the reason why we see CPU's with more core, but not higher frequency.
If you look on intel road map, they will make 14 nm CPU witch means, if they don't find a way to go lower than 10 nm, the cpu market will pretty much slow to a crawl
