The article posted by Mark about the Frontier Edition not including AMD's Draw Stream Binning Rasterizers might help with the power consumption issues we saw with the FE. Maybe RX Vega will actually draw less power and output less heat as well as perform better. Maybe.

I hope so. Because if not then 1530 odd is a pipe dream.

Aren't all of those games in favor of amd?

 

[looz]

Well, Doom definitely is, not sure if rest of the list is that slanted towards AMD. What makes me more suspicious is the 1070's discrepancy with other review sites, as pointed out by this reddit comment.

All the other games are however I do not know if COD is.

You'd have to find as many sources as possible and find there avg for the 1070. Otherwise it's just cherry picking on top of cherry picked results. I do believe the Vega 56 will compete and probably be slightly better than a 1070 but I think it's more game dependent than anything.
