Yes, they'll be even faster; but the question is whether that performance will still be in demand in 5 years (over, time-to-market, say).
Native apps haven't been in demand on the desktop for a while, and smartphones are getting faster all the time. It seems that will be dual core, 1 GHz this year. How long before performance becomes a non-issue?
Quad core is inevitable, it's just a question of when. They say 2012 for the chips in that article; but not when for devices using it. Dual core devices are scheduled early this year.
They also mention 2.5GHz - the big issue is power usage. I guess you you can turn off 3, and underclock when not needed.
