x86 cant improve much anymore. And thats basicly what we see again and again. Core 2 was roughly 20% faster than Core and Athlon.

Also why we have the multicore race after the ended gigahertz race.

Thats the penalty of a 30 year old design. If it wasnt for shrinks we would be seriously stuck.

So 10-25% is ALOT. AMD people should know
