Frankly, Intel's IPC improvements after Sandy Bridge are disappointing. The only real good thing about the newer CPU's are the newer features, and even those aren't spectacular.

And Intel have come out and said they are not working on improveing IPC anymore, but mostly focusing on reduceing power usage of their CPUs.

The thing that worries them the most is ARM IPC growing and a desktop version ending up becomeing popular.

 

If you have like a intel 6700k, chances are your set for the next 10years or something.

I have a weak cheap G3258 @4.2ghz (haswell dual core)..... but honestly even for me, thats enough for most things.

 

Also with DX12 and vulkan, CPU usage needed for games is going to drop alot.

True, but that might bite them in the end, especially on the server side where not only power consumption, but raw computing power is a must. I think, in a decade or 2, Intel will face problems from IBM's Power CPU's again.
