Vega GPU benchmarks emerge, revealing several GPU specifications

SiSoft benchmarks for leaked for what is thought to be AMD’s upcoming Vega GPU, showcasing some impressive performance numbers for the next AMD flagship. 

This data shows that this new GPU has 8GB of VRAM, using a 2048-bit memory bus, which was expected given the recent die shots of AMD’s Vega graphics processor. These results also show that this GPU uses 64 CUs and has a total of 4096 Vega stream processors. 

While this data clearly has some incorrect specifications, like the listed clock speed of 344MHz, this listing showcases some highly impressive benchmark scores, outperforming may results that we have found for Nvidia’s GTX 1080. 

Sadly compute performance is rarely indicative of gaming performance, especially when comparing vastly different GPU architectures. That being said this new GPU performs admirably when compared to results on AMD’s older Fury series GPUs.  

At this time it is unknown how well AMD’s RX Vega series GPUs will compare to Nvidia’s GTX 1080 and 1080 Ti series GPUs, though it is clear that AMD is aiming high with this release when it comes to compute performance, making Vega competitive outside od the gaming marketplace.
