I think one of the more impressive things about that statement is how well the 2600k holds up in comparison on the per core. I mean okay it's not exactly close but it's not as far behind as one may expect for a chip approaching 8 years old.
37%Of course the overclock needs to be factored into the equation but at the same time it's kind of a moot point.
Couldn't be fussed figuring it out again myself so used a calculator.

Also technically would you actually add those percentages together? Surely having a 7% increase in core clock doesn't equate to adding 7% onto your ipc.

Don't think the bios has much to do with the overclock to be honest, that is more how the stock settings behave from what I understood but I could be wrong.
Weird thing is I barely see my cpu hit 4.2GHz on stock. I see 4.15GHz more. Could be because not enough load when I have looked.
But in any case I get better performance and lower power usage and temps when at 4.2GHz all core at 1.15v. Could be that the amount of voltage is not enough to be considered 100% Rock solid stable, but so far it has been fine for me. As soon as I get a blue screen or something weird I can always up the voltage a little. Even 1.2v at 4.2GHz would be better than my stock settings in every way.
