The article gives 2 benchmarks, I am pretty sure it is easy to mash up another benchmark with totally opposite results (e.g subset of specint). I found author's inclusion of an obviously skewed example as proof a little bit disingenuous as well.
Having said that in general Intel still holds a slight edge on pure Ipc. However, considering the terrible track record of security issues and abysmal price performance ratio, a slight edge on ipc can be ignored and I would not consider Intel for most workloads at the moment. Above all, actual application benchmark trumps any ipc microbencmark.
