In general, this happens throughout the world of processing manufacturing. Intel is very known to have a 'tick tock' pattern where one generation of processor brings new tech and the one that follows it is an optimization of that technology. Better manufacturing processes also lead to cooler performance with the same designs, which sounds like what you describe with the Digic X.

The difference is that Intel gives unique names to each iteration, which Canon doesn’t do. So ‘Digic X’ is like ‘Intel I7’ instead of ‘i7-1930X3D-K’.
