People say a lot of things that are not technically true. CPU speeds will probably keep going up for years or decades. But when CPU Hz were rising, the routine was things like 4MHz -> 8MHz every other year or so. Going from 4 to 6GHz over around 10-20 years is, effectively, flat compared to the rate of change people were dealing with before the year 2000.
