I feel like it's a little weird that Intel and Apple have been doing that lately (new CPU each year).  With the yearly new CPU models, it seems like the changes are pretty small. Some time ago, I remember seeing some advertising (I think from Intel themselves) where they talked about the performance of their current processors, and it said something like "Compared to an Intel PC from 5 years ago". They had to go back that far for there to be a noticeable difference in performance. It reminds me of how cars have model years - often there's just small differences in a new model year, and only every several years there will be a new overall design.
