I think your views are founded on the "moar Mhz moar performance" myth ( which is prevalent ), and Intel's decades old monopoly didn't help either, but if you compare 2 equivalent CPU's 10-15 years apart, there is no stagnation in performance.
Maybe the old trick of cranking up the Mhz and call it a day doesn't work the way it used to, but in terms of performance results we are getting improvements.

Except... we aren't. Intel's CPUs haven't gotten significantly better in 4+ generations. AMD's have, but that's only because they were still catching up to Intel.
