The link to convnet benchmarks is a 30 day old issue, with numbers that look significantly worse than native CUDNNv2. Are there more up-to-date numbers?

I'm really looking forward to updated CUDNN and CUDA 7.5 support. My machines are all configured for Theano, and I've been sorta waiting to try TensorFlow until I can install it without downgrading everything, as it was tricky to get things working and I'd rather not reconfigure things I don't have to.

There will eventually be more up to date numbers -- we can only ask so much of Soumith's time. In addition, getting on par with cudnnv2 is just the first step. cudnnv3/v4 and cuda7.5 are next up.

Cool, I'm actually happy to hear that the numbers are out of date, I just wasn't sure. Can't wait for the next update, development is moving fast!

There's a few pics of a slide from yesterday at NIPS 2015 showing that TensorFlow 0.6 increases performance between 30 and 40% on AlexNet and Overfeat.
