Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon VII, which has core clock speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 memory. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 819200 (357%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII will be quite a bit (about 125%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 186496 (125%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon VII is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 52224 (140%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
