Relax. Every architecture jump (the tick of the tick-tock cycle) gets you quite a good speed jump.
My three year old i7 920 is probably only 50-60% of the i7 I can buy today for the same money. There's still progress and it does not appear to be horrifyingly small either.
Then again, AMD are really hurting. Hope they stay put to keep the pressure on.
Hope Apple makes good new workstation machines as well, or it'll be Windows PCs for many pros.
