Interesting. I was a bit afraid by the growing TDP but the consumption seems to be contained. Should i understand that the tests measured the wattage of the whole system and not specifically the card ?

I am actively developing a CAD program and I have absolutely no problems with developing on a system with a Nvidia gfx card. Developing on Linux and targeting Nvidia has consistently been a pleasure on Linux. I cannot say the same about Radeon/AMD. Nvidia has in fact delivered a professional and consistent platform for both Windows and Linux for a very long time. Their driver is not open source though, and that might be a reason for me to switch to AMD.
But if Nvidia's midrange/low-end gfx card beats the best of the AMD line.... Well hmm. I'll have to think about it.

That is progress.
And it matches the 1080 in some games.
I'm going to buy one of those i think.
Average price for a 1060 6GB currently is around $270, so
360/270=1.333...=33% more expensive
Shave off the increased price from the 2060 and you're at 50% faster for the same price.
Still a great improvement, but price/performance is now only head to head with the 580/590 which in my experience has more reliable Linux drivers.
If you compare products with the same performance though I guess it's slightly better than a Vega 64 due to better efficiency and value, but the proprietary driver and NVidias anti-competitive behavior is still a flaw so I guess it's a tough choice now instead of a clear winner for AMD.

Would be really interesting to have tensorflow benchmark results also for Vega.

The TensorFlow results are impressive. I've been having so much problems with ROCm, I might just get one, just for the compute.
