Yes, this might possibly be true. When you play at longer time controls, the
speed ratio between cpu speed and memory access speed remains the same. With a
faster cpu this ratio changes, because memory speed does not keep up in
proportion with cpu speed. Cache complicates the issue, but the observation
remains generally correct. It all depends on the [chess] program.
