Sandy Bridge to Skylake

I'm much more flustered by that than some minor performance improvement. It's not as if you need that for a laptop anyway. Fixing stuff you own yourself however is very much a necessity.

Doesn't matter, Ivy is just a dieshrink of Sandy
There's some 2-3% IPC difference between them

Lack of competition

Literally no reason to do any R&D when your main competitor was so far behind

Ryzen has given them a sharp kick up the rear. Suddenly Intel will figure out how to eke out performance gains of more than 0.3% each generation

Skylake over Sandy Bridge did bring significant uplift, its just not shown in the /v/ tier bench you've chosen to focus on. The issue is that between Haswell, Broadwell, and Skylake the uplift is minimal with each iteration.

It isn't lack of competition. Intel has genuinely been putting all into X86 development that they can muster. The simple fact is that diminishing returns is a reality.

It's funny because half of that improvement is just the extra 200MHz clockspeed

Yeah no shit it is when you play it safe and don't develop a new architecture.
