>IIRC Broadwell has several improvements over haswell both in IPC

Broadwell was a dye shrink of Haskell but architecturally identical. It was just moving from 14nm to 10nm. There was no IPC improvements. When you compare the 2 chips performance the difference was literally clock speed [1].

Yes there were encoder changes but the iGPU isn't part of Broadwell. It's iGPU, that's like saying the DRAM controller, or PCIe master router is part of Boardwell.

Yes Broadwell was a dieshrink of Haswell with 10-15% improvement in ICP but it also had a few instructional changes like ADX.
