Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 590

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 590, which uses a 12 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1469 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this specific model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

	Difference: 175 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon Pro Duo should theoretically be a lot faster than the Radeon RX 590 in general. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 590		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 761856 (291%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be a lot (more or less 142%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 590. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 590		211536 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 300464 (142%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is a lot (about 172%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 590, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 590		47008 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 80992 (172%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
