Current GEnx-1B engines have ~2% better fuel burn than the EIS engines. But the GEnx-1B engines going on the 787-9 are the exact same engines as those going on the 787-8 today (aside from perhaps the rating plug), and PIP improvements made since EIS are a available for retrofit to the original GEnx engines.
