maybe we could actually see certain tr bins surpassing ryzen on many gaming apps when all channels are used
did you read this article amd downplaying ipc improvements?

Yeah, 29% would be ludicrous, Intel would basically have to sabotage AMD to not go bankrupt at that point with Ryzen 2 also more than likely hitting 5.0-5.1ghz overclocks easily. 10% minimum 15% max is what I expect in ipc gains sans very cherry picked cases.
As for memory channels helping in gaming i don't know, bandwidth has been increasing but ryzen is more sensitive to timings, for consumers and gaming higher bandwidth is mostly intended to give igpu's more room to play with that's why even single vs dual doesn't change fps by more than like 1-5% gaming with a discrete gpu.
