With cl-mem results the AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 OpenCL troubles are reinforced. But again, at least looking at the NVIDIA numbers are interesting.

The Darktable results were added later on. Interestingly, here, the AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 OpenCL driver appears to be in much better shape but still show the NVIDIA Pascal GPUs leading.

So clearly there are some AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 OpenCL troubles going on right now, but if you were interested in fresh NVIDIA OpenCL numbers, hopefully you found this interesting. Or thanks to the Phoronix Test Suite, if wishing to compare your own Linux OpenCL system's performance to the results in this article, simply run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1704211-TR-OPENCLTES87 for your own fully-automated, side-by-side performance comparison.
