  I think you cannot remove benefit from better hardware, because most
programmer adapt to new hardware to get better programs. For example, a lot of
programs have become SMP. This has happend because multiprocessor machines have
become cheaper, so it is a hardware improvement that leads to software
improvement.
  Besides that, you can chose your favourite program and compare versions. Let's
say Fritz. Compare strength of versions 4.01, 5.32, 6, Deep Fritz. I think you
can answer your own question, can't you?
