would you please provide a link to this report, I'm very interested in upgrading my current system and reading about future performance improvements.

I think double performance will be double the cores rumour has it that`s what`s coming more cores not clock`s, what that will do for flight simulators we will have to wait and see I would not hold my hopes up,

Yep, agree. IPC is bound to improve to a degree, but it will be additional cores. Additional cores to compete with AMD's CPU's. In any case, more cores is the way it's been going for a long time now, rather than frequency. 

My guess is that for those that require additional cores it will be great, for more CPU biased software, not so much.

The current 8700K is what's known as Coffee Lake, the next one is Connon Lake, currently expected at end of 2018 https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel-cannonlake-10nm  If you are not in a hurry, waiting a bit longer for a significant breakthrough is always worth it.  With P3D v3 and V4, the better bang is the GPU upgrade, and NVidia is expected to double the performance with the 2048 GPU line up.
