Right off the bat with the first OpenCL test in the result file we see that the tested Radeon GPUs on AMDGPU-PRO were all slower than the range of NVIDIA cards. Even the Radeon R9 Fury and RX 480 came up short of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

With some of the OpenCL tests, the Radeon Linux stack ended up being multiple times slower.

But finally in some tests we see the Radeon GPUs not all in last place, but in many of the cases the R9 Fury and RX 480 are only performing around a GeForce GTX 760 Kepler level.
