Right, the problem is that “twice as fast” doesn’t help you much for most problems. For example, if you are solving the Traveling Salesman Problem, then doubling your hardware will allow you to add one more city to the map (under the worst-case scenario). So, now your AI could solve the problem for 1001 cities, instead of 1000. Yey.

But given the right approximation algorithm...
