Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 470 is 1367% quicker than the GeForce 920M in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		211200 MB/sec
GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 196800 (1367%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 470 should be quite a bit (approximately 288%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 920M. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		118528 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 88000 (288%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 470 is much (approximately 288%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 920M, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		29632 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22000 (288%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
