Synthetic compute

vkpeak (Vulkan) on the same board, before and after the 40-CU unlock:

Metric Baseline 24 CU SkillFishOS 40 CU
FP32 scalar 6141 GFLOPS 11 329 GFLOPS (~11.3 TFLOPS)
FP16 vec4 12 260 22 685
int8 dot-product 24 550 GIOPS 45 495 GIOPS

Memory bandwidth (clpeak): ~350-367 GB/s. Vulkan sees ~13 GiB with the extended GTT.

Comparisons

  • Same hardware, +34% just by changing the OS — Superposition 1080p Extreme: SkillFishOS 5513 vs another distro at stock clocks 4102.
  • Versus desktop Radeons — gaming performance in RX 6600 / 6600 XT territory, raw compute of an RX 6700 (~11.3 TFLOPS), from a ~50 EUR board.
