I dint think there is much pointing to pessimistic conclusions. If Apples claims are correct, they have obtained a 7-10% improvement in single core at 20% lower power usage as well as 20% improvements in multi-core (presumably at the same power usage). These are rather significant a year-to-year improvements.
