A lot. Cat 8.3 date from 4 March. To Cat 8.6 (begining June) will be 3 months difference.

But you know, those benchmarks are from PR Nvidia. They don´t use Cat 8.5 for a simple reason. The graph will look diferent.

For example, the Cat 8.5 release Notes:
The following performance gains are noticed with this release of Catalyst™.

* Call of Juarez DX10: Performance increases up to 12% on systems containing an ATI Radeon™ HD 3xx0 series of product
* Halo: Performance increases by 10-30% across all of the supported ATI Radeon™ series of products
* Lost Planet DX10: Performance increases from 5 to 35% on systems containing an ATI Radeon™ HD 3xx0 series of product
* Stalker DX9: Performance increases by 20-50% when HDR is enabled in the game; across all ATI Radeon™ HD38x0 series of products
* World in Conflict DX10: Performance increases up to 25% on systems containing an ATI Radeon™ HD36x0 and/or an ATI Radeon™ 38x0 series of product. Higher performance gains are noticed on systems contianing an ATI Radeon™ 3870x2 series of product
