Why would you normalize for that? The subject at hand is the product performance. Could Intel's design turn out better in future generations? Perhaps. I think to consider weighing which process node was used for the CPU changes the subject to Intel's prospects as a CPU designer/manufacturer.
If we normalize for Moore's law then historic processors would compare much more favorably.
In fact it's a bit unfair to Apple to compare this sample unit to last year's production model.
