no..
Newer technology has better efficiency per clock..so, in the same clock, will faster than older..
for exp, (Older to newer)
i7 920 -> i7 2600k -> i7 3770k -> i7 4770k
All of this series has 4 cores and 8 thread..
i7 4770k is 10% faster than i7 3770k in same clock..
i7 3770k is 20% faster than i7 2600k in same clock..
i7 2600k is 20%-30% faster than i7 920 in same clock..
so, in i7 series, newest technology (4700k) will 50%-60% faster than i7 first generation (920), if both run in same clock..
