I'd welcome any solid info that Kaby Lake does have a general IPC increase. I wonder if it might be confused with the increased performance from the higher clocks offered. Especially with the mobile CPUs already out, I'm sure someone would have noticed by now.
At its core, the microarchitecture of Kaby Lake is identical to that of Skylake. Instructions per clock (IPC) remain the same with the exception of dedicated hardware changes in the media engine, so you should not expect any performance differences with Kaby Lake except with improved clock speeds we’ll discuss in a bit.

Aside from the 14+ process offering higher frequencies, the base microarchitecture of Kaby Lake-S, as explained at the release of Kaby Lake-Y/U in September, is essentially the same as Skylake.
