Until and unless someone comes up with non-silicon wafer based
semiconductor based transistors, we are at the end of the road. No
more speed, no more cores, just about the only thing that will change
is the details of the designs and software.
Apple is doing the one thing I've always disliked, forcing you to keep
spending money for new stuff that's not all that different than the
old stuff, particularly today where the processors aren't different
enough to tell apart, they just change the software enough to keep you
shelling out cash.
Other processors are better than Intel "cpu" chips anyway -- no one is
using them in smart phones, which are vastly more powerful that a
desktop was a few years ago. End of the road stuff, I think.
I don't anticipate any major changes in the next decade -- once you
reach the physical limits of size in computing devices, you cannot
improve speed or transistor density.
Needless to say, the software stinks just as much as it always did....
