Yes, sure. No one will complain about faster CPU in any case [not sure if acrobat PDF engine can make use of multiple CPU cores though]

On the other hand, I have PDF files that are slow to render on my Quadcore 3Ghz Haswell PC. If you export stuff from AutoCAD as PDF you can kill any machine with those.

This kind of problem will persist even if you tenfold the CPU power of current ebook readers. If you don't need insane zoom levels, you're better off with converting them to a lower resolution for the ereader.
