And a look at the AC system power consumption while running all of these benchmarks.

Overall, the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver continues getting better with each passing month.

These latest numbers are looking very good as Radeon GPUs become more competitive with NVIDIA under Linux. Coming up in the days ahead will be some fresh R600g results for those running the vintage GPUs, fresh OpenGL/Vulkan RADV numbers, a look at the RadeonSI evolution over the past year -- and more as part of Phoronix 13th birthday benchmarking specials.
