not faster, just the same , at the very leastThree kinds of users...you forgot the ones that run benchmarks to make sure the newest generation is actually faster than the old generation, then they go to work.
In principle, one should never pay more for same or less performance than previous gen. One should also not have to pay $200 extra (for less than $20 worth of product you can buy anywhere else) to get your new gen device up to the same performance as the last gen.
