But.. pandas uses numpy under the hood. If numpy is better and can offload some of the core functionality from pandas that will also benefit pandas right ?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that these would be solved by pandas API design improvements, not with numpy improvements under the hood. (NB: As always, a big thanks to the developers for all their work.)
