Honestly I would have loved to see the benchmarks clock-normalize everything so we get an architectural performance improvement perspective.

I think you can extrapolate that quite well from the overclocked Sandybridge. Looks like roughly 20-30% or so. But it actually wouldn't really be fair to look at it like that. Going wide is just as important as going deep and thankfully Intel finally agrees after 10 years.

Well. 5Ghz seems to be the good upper-ceiling for all Intel CPU's when you throw overclocking into the mix, so architectural improvements may matter to someone who is happy to run their Sandy-Bridge processor @5ghz or a Kaby-Lake @ 5ghz.
Plus Sandy-Bridge CPU's love memory bandwidth, lots of low-latency, high clocked DDR3 can close the gap.

Mmm yea now that would be cool. Specially since some cpus are at 4.6ghz while others are at 5.1ghz.

The 2500K has a 3.3Ghz base clock, 3.7Ghz boost clock... But those chips can overclock like a bat out of hell, mostly because they came out at a time when Intel were still using solder rather than cheap-shit thermal paste between the die and integrated heat spreader.
