I think the speeds of CPUs are not increasing like they did before...

I mean we are stuck for some time with Pentium 4s that are 3.8 ghz.

where are the pentium 5's?

Where are the 10 Ghz chips?

Intel painted themselves into a corner. They've been marketing
their CPUs on the basis of megahertz speeds. Higher is presented
in their ads as better. Now they've reached a situation where they
can't get much faster without having their CPUs generate more heat
than can easily be handled. They are in the process of taking a
different approach to designing (and marketing) their processors,
one that imitates the approach of AMD. You won't be hearing as
much about increased megahertz speeds from Intel from now on.
 
The pentium 5's do not exist and may never exist.

Intel has stopped marketing the processor with MHz/GHz speeds . They use a
newer numbering scheme.

Do not expect 10Ghz chips soon! Intel is now focused on creating multi-core
chips. That is to say: more than one "physical" processor on the same
chip.
