NVIDIA RTX A6000 vs PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XT

Comparison of GPU cores for NVIDIA RTX A6000 and PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics cards. The GPU core data contains the number of blocks (in the AMD documentation these blocks are called Shader Engine (SE), while Nvidia calls them Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), words are different, the essence is the same) and ROP/TMUs (Raster Processing Units). These characteristics have a great influence on the GPU computing power.
