Similar to the SHOC bus speed tests, some of the cl-mem OpenCL memory benchmarks were showing heavy advantages to the ROCm driver.
Using the ROCm driver also yielded much lower kernel latency than using Rusticl.
In the other clpeak synthetic OpenCL benchmarks there was a few surprising upsets where Rusticl managed to outperform the ROCm driver. Particularly for single precision compute the Rusticl driver had a significant lead.
