He actually benchmarked it twice. The first result is exactly the same (save the 2nd save) due to a margin of error.
As far as I know, the expected increase in performance is around 10% due to the fact that it has 8 execution ports per core compared to 6.
It'll also have twice the vector processing performance (thanks to AVX2).
Those are the confirmed features thus far afaik.
That's a great deal then. What cooler do you have (if you have one already)?
