Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.
Most of desktop users don’t care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.

I care! But I’m a power user. Most aren’t.
I suppose that is true. Intel seems to think so as well as their low power n100 is about the performance of a 1500x.
