Sounds good to me.
Though that doesnt quite explain the big jump of Sandy to Ivy since the major changes were just the usual branch prediction improvements and a couple (arguably insignificant) ISA extensions.
And of course, moving to 22nm FinFET bulk, but that doesnt exactly inherently increase performance...
Quite confused...
