Coppermine only went to 1 Ghz and the 1.1 Ghz models were recalled. The Pentium 3 did make it to 1.4 Ghz but required another shrink to 130 nm to get there.

The Pentim 4 did launch using a 180 nm and reached 2.0 Ghz. The Pentium 4 on 130 nm would be a better example as it scaled from 1.6 Ghz to 3.46 Ghz.

The question is how many more improvements mass production lithography can go. Intel seems set on releasing 10 nm chips but 7 nm is not certain. If the benefits of lithography shrinks run out at the same time as the ability to shrink using lithography, I'd consider that good timing. Well at least as long as a replacement is queued up.
