Not really, it's simply that, since the end of [Dennard
scaling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennard_scaling) around 2007, we
don't know how to make CPUs faster, really.  Progress is *very* slow.
That's why the number of cores has gone up, since we still know how to
do that.  Sadly, for many tasks, additional cores make no difference.
