Pentax probably did it to revive the K-Sx series since the K-S1 turned out to be a disappointment overall with bad reviews... so they added more features compared to the K-S1 like WR, articulating screen, wifi & many advanced features.

I think a touch screen for the K-S3 would really make a great difference. Canon & Nikon's competing models already have it. Will make traversing those pentax menus very easy plus one touch AF in LV/video.

CPU performance may be limited by aother factor. We are dealing with a fully sealed body. But a higher frame rate or bandwidth in video or/and high speed CPU will create a lot of heat which needs to be dissipated & a sealed air tight enclosure doesnt work well with this. so speed probably is kept limited.
only way out seems a highly efficient cpu using better architecture with least power consumption.

I think Pentax will keep the K-S series to experiment new things (not very high end though as it wont make sense for that category like say more af points, group AF etc.) rather than bringing them out directly into the K-x0, K-3 & full frame series.
I see the K-S series like a beta release of a product & depending upon customer satisfaction they can introduce these changes in the more serious models in even more polished form.
The next thing I'm expecting is the introduction of touch screen, this will really help in live view, video AND NAVIGATING THE LENGTHY MENUS OF PENTAX (seriously, touch will help navigating those epic menus making it faster with less button presses). Canon & Nikon already have it.
This may not be as simple as it sounds since they will have to give a serious overhaul to the existing proven but dated interface.
A special quick menu mode for touch can be expected. So Pentax may experiment this with the K-S3 with a few more features added. & if successful we may see this in the K-90 & K-3 III.
This could be the approach Pentax is following.
