PERFORMANCE

FLOPS

FLOPS is commonly used for measuring GPU performance in 32-bit floating-point operations, essential for scientific computing, data analysis, machine learning, and graphics tasks. A higher value indicates faster and more complex calculations, vital for scientific research, simulations, and high-performance computing.

Radeon RX Vega 11 has nearly top performance with 1.97 TFLOPS in its class.

GPU BASE and BOOST CLOCK SPEED

The GPU base clock speed is the standard operating frequency, while the boost clock speed represents the maximum dynamic frequency the GPU can achieve under increased demand. These clock speeds influence the GPU's performance, with the base clock setting the standard level and the boost clock allowing for extra power when needed, enhancing overall responsiveness in demanding applications like gaming.

MEMORY SIZE and MEMORY CLOCK SPEED

GPU memory size refers to the storage capacity for visual data. This capacity is crucial for tasks like gaming and graphic-intensive work. Memory clock speed affects how quickly the GPU's memory operates. Faster memory speed improves performance, especially in high-resolution gaming. Balancing memory size and clock speed is vital for a GPU's graphics handling capabilities..

The memory of both Radeon RX Vega 11 and Radeon Vega 3 are system-shared, which means that memory-based performance values depend on the system.
GPU THERMAL DESIGN POWER (TDP)

GPU TDP, or Thermal Design Power, quantifies the maximum heat a graphics processing unit (GPU) generates under load. It's vital for selecting appropriate cooling solutions and power efficiency. Higher TDP GPUs require better cooling, while lower TDP GPUs are more power-efficient. Understanding TDP aids in choosing the right GPU for a system.

Radeon RX Vega 11 has nearly highest TDP with 15.00 W in its class.

Radeon Vega 3 has nearly highest TDP with 15.00 W in its class.
