Here's a quick overview of the new modules and their performance.

Radeon Pro W6800X Duo | Up to 30.2 teraflops | Up to 60.4 teraflops | S$7,500 |
Radeon Pro W6900X | Up to 22.2 teraflops | Up to 44.4 teraflops | S$9,000 |
In case you were wondering, the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo is really two GPUs crammed into a single module – hence the high performance. However, these are just theoretical figures, actual performance might vary depending on how efficiently your application can take advantage of multi-GPU graphics modules. This also partly explains the Radeon Pro W6900X's higher price.
