Based on my comparisons of Maxwell core to Pascal core efficiency, this should results in roughly a 1.4x speed up of FP32.

An NVIDIA representative a week ago told me 2x but that might be a bit high, I'd take it as a cap, and maybe it is the case using tensorRT.

Our NVIDIA rep told us early January that 1.5x was a reasonable boost for us to expect.

If you are memory bound the increased throughput from 64 bit to 128 bit wide LPDDR4 bus would likely get you close to 2x.

yes, you are right if you are memory bound!
