However 10-15% percent per generation is still exponential growth if the cycle length is roughly the same. Just slower.

Since IVB it's been more like 0-5 percent. Intel has decided to focus on reducing power consumption and keeping performance the same, since that's much easier to do now.

It is also much more reasonable, as memory is usually the bottleneck anyway.

It's not really exponential if the number keeps going down on each generation.
