From what I have seen "the history of computer chess", there has been quantum leaps. In other cases, to evaluate chess positions that don't have an ending is like the universe. How do you measure imprecise positions (on the chess board or the universe)? The common denominator among human versus machine at about 5 GHZ when the machine loses is that both sides have their queens and lots of pawns. Of course, there is the horizon effect, but put it very simply make the game "complex". Hardware quantum leaps are called Moore's Law. Software quantum leaps in the 21st century, I don't know; software might come from larger opening and endgame libraries. Expect more hardware improvements than software improvements.
