AMD unveils its Vega 10 GPU architecture

Falsehoods & misrepresentations.

"Same performance as 1080"

Vega 56 is faster than the 1080: 15% faster in SP GFLOPS, 130%(!) faster in DP GFLOPS, and 15000%(!!) faster in half-precision GFLOPS (Nvidia artificially cripples theirs). All comparisons made at base clocks.

"double the TDP"

Merely 17% higher: 210W (Vega 56) vs 180W (1080).

"Only 30% higher than the Fury"

And Nvidia's top 16nm GPU (Titan Xp) is only 39% faster than their top 28nm (TITAN Z) released... 3 years ago. The 28nm→14/16nm transition was hard for everyone.

Saw it on /r/AMD. This is supposedly from SIGGRAPH.

If AMD says you can't go higher than 1080 (in a cherrypicked setting, no doubt) then you cannot make the claim that it is faster.

This link shows Vega significantly faster than the 1080. Minimum FPS is 65% higher. A low minimum FPS indicates performance bottlenecks in the 1080.
