FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2017: the Radeon RX Vega 56 on Vega and the Radeon RX Vega 64 on Vega.

Dense throughput for the Radeon RX Vega 56 against the Radeon RX Vega 64: FP32 11 vs 13 TFLOPS, FP16 21 vs 25 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 8 GB against 8 GB, fed at 410 GB/s versus 484 GB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

Power budgets are 210 W for the Radeon RX Vega 56 and 295 W for the Radeon RX Vega 64. At FP32 that works out to 0.05 against 0.04 TFLOPS per watt.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
