The most dramatic jump I saw was for 66 MHz 486 to 90 MHz Pentium. The MHz difference is quite small, but the improvement in performance is dramatic. So, from hardware platform to hardware platform, we are going to see improvements from: Memory increase MHz increase Instruction set improvement Scheduling improvement Compiler improvement Bus bandwidth etc.
