@goddog: If the performance per cycle gets changed, we're not talking about simple die shrinks but redesigned chips (no matter how slightly). This is by definition. There are plenty of die shrinking and clockrate increases going on in all CPU families all the time, but the performance per cycle doesn't change if the transistor pattern is identical.
