It's a 25% improvement in >5 years when comparing an overclocked 2600K to an overclocked 6700K. You seem to have forgotten that Moore's Law basically meant a doubling in processor performance every 18-24 months before that.

But you're right, I've been jaded about desktop computing for that long, and it has nothing to do with Apple. The fact that you care about nothing but Macs definitely means you should GTFO and move on from Apple. This isn't the brand for you anymore. I stop going to restaurants when the head chef changes. I stop going to bike shops when my favorite mechanic quits. I stop being loyal to brands when they clearly stop making products I want. You want annual Mac updates because you think that's important to you. I don't buy new Macs every year, so it's not important to me.

You know what causes 99% of all traffic jams? Human error.

E: And for the most part, Mac shipments have gone up year-over-year when PC shipments have been in steady decline for a decade. Clearly horsepower doesn't drive sales as much as you think.
