I find it hard to believe with a stepping, even with a new revision I'd raise an eyebrow. I will take 10-15% increase with Trinity as that is what I've heard from AMD and that this guy from Chiphell shows in hes results. 20% i don't think will happen with Piledriver, not IPC-wise - but IPC+clocks i find it very possible, even very likely.

AMD have already gone public that they aren't happy with GlobalFoundries performance with 32nm, and the power consumption of Bulldozer (especially overclocked) points the finger towards high leakage. I think there's alot that can/will/has be done, both on the design and manufacturing side.
