Well probably yes, since there are lots of news about lots of components around. But I find Newegg a very reliable source for that, since they tend to keep stock of the newest tech available. Example, I only realized DDR3 came out for desktop use when I saw the first sticks being advertised there - but that may be because I don't usually pay close attention to this stuff.

And the concept of "Generation" always changes. For example, you could say the E6400 is a generation behind the E6550 because of the FSB changes and etc. DDR2 1066 is a generation in front of DDR2 800, while DDR3 1600 is quite far out there. I'm not sure how the terminology goes, but I'd say you have no choice but to keep track of common release dates and everything else.
