Considering that IPC improvement is nonexistent for the last 4 years from Intel's desktop processors, I am expecting a decent jump with a new architecture. But I rather wait and see how much IPC improvement will Rocket Lake provide over Comet Lake.

Instructions Per Cycle,
if Cycle increases it all increases.
(same for instructions if they increase it all increases)

Rocket will have more instruction units per core but most probably also less clocks so the total improvement will still be pretty small once again because that's how you guarantee that it won't kill the next gen coming after it.
