GeForce 920M vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which has GPU clock speed of 1382 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 memory running at 1890 MHz through a 2048-bit bus. It also features 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 481052 (3341%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be quite a bit (about 1059%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 920M. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 323264 (1059%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 80816 (1059%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
