5600X at 4.6ghz beats out a 9900k at 5.7GHz.
That's how far Intel are behind in IPC, 5.7Ghz is 24% higher than 4.6Ghz.
I don't know where you got that from or what it was referring to but...

+11% IPC to Zen 2 in ST
AMD quoted a +19% IPC gain, that was ST Cinebench R20, the 5900X score 631 the 5950X 640, clock speed unknown.
If we take ST that's +30% ST to Zen 3 vs Icelake, which is the same as Coffeelake.
+35% in MT.
The 24% difference rather than 35% is probably down to the core difference of the 9900K, about 10%, like i said.
We have to see how the 5600X performs in range of tasks. But yeah, it looks the 5600X will leave the 10700K in the dust.
The 10700K is never scoring 631 in R20.
