AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Synthetic Benchmarks (vs. Nvidia Titan Xp):
The liquid cooled version of the Vega Frontier has a TDP of 375 Watts, while the air-cooled variant has a TDP of 300 Watts, according to Exxact Corporation, a company that specializes in workstation GPUs. Exxact Corp. also tested the Vega Frontier against the Nvidia Titan Xp, here are their results:
As you can see in the chart above by Exxact Corp., the AMD Vega Frontier is a lot faster than the Nvidia Titan Xp in synthetic benchmarks. Although, the Titan Xp is not a full-fledge workstation GPU. It will be interesting to see how the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition stacks up against the more expensive (£1,944.98) Nvidia Quadro P5000.
