I am really confused, what is IPC and how is it measured?
Also, how can i find the IPC of different cpus?
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

IPC is instructions per clock, how much work a processor can get done each cycle (cycle speeds measured in GHz).
There is no way to actually measure IPC, nor can you compare actual IPC of processors.
You simply have to compare benchmarks and reviews and make decisions based off of that. There is no number associated with it.

As Gam3r01 said, you test differents processors clocked (under or over, depending the case) at the same speed and same amount of cores, and then compare the results.
That can give you an idea how well does it perform against other cpus.
When they talk about 40% increase (case of AMD), they compare a battery of tests running with the current lineup of cpus and with the new one, maintaining the same cores and speed.
