Not that I know of, but at their analyst day in May 2017 AMD showed slides in which they beat Nvidias GP100 in Baidus Deep Bench with their new GPU Vega. [0][1] Since AMD recently released the Vega Frontier Edition [3][4] I posted this here in the hopes to see some benchmarks from users here on HN.

When you take unknown code and datasets under OpenCL it isn't hard to make any delta you want.

Using OpenCL code with batch size which favors one or the the other is enough to cause this (and much) higher delta.

DeepBench isn't a benchmark, it's a benchmarking tool overall there is very little chance that given the current state of NVIDIAs BLAST libraries and the rest of their eco system that Vega is going to be beating it's hardware.
