Single thread performance increased every processor generation, and is still doing so today.
- Nevermark 1y agoToo true! RAM parallel bandwidth, increased caching levels and size, and better caching rules, instruction re-ordering, predictive branching, register optimization, vector instructions, ... there have been many advances in single thread execution since the 90's. Beyond any clock speed advances.

(I'm sure someone could dig up more recent graphs, but you get the idea). In order to get more performance, your app needs to use multithreading.
