AMD's internal testing showed that its new "Zen 2" CPUs can complete more instructions per cycle than the previous "Zen 1" generation across floating point and integer benchmarks, indicating improved performance. The estimated increase in instructions per cycle is based on AMD's own microbenchmark tests comparing "Zen 2" to "Zen 1".

29. Estimated increase in instructions per cycle (IPC) is based on AMD internal testing for ”Zen 2” across microbenchmarks, compared to prior “Zen 1” generation CPU using combined floating point and integer benchmarks.
