re: x86 ISA implementations has saturated, all hanging fruits of speedups are already implemented.

Ali, the x86 ISA is about to be expanded for gen purpose unified shader functions to be integrated in Fusion. The extentions to the ISA will probably become public 1-2 years before Fusion becomes available (like was the case with the x86-64 / AMD64).

Every new process node brings new low-enough-hanging-fruit type opportunities for speedups, such as K10 and Fusion.

Your generalization is a bit too simplistic.
