Note that the biggest influence in faster processor speeds has been the ability to place more transistors into the same physical area. This has allowed chips to have more transistors or a smaller die size, the former often makes them faster, and the latter makes them cheaper. FF sensors require bigger chips. Chip costs go up exponentially with size. alex
