GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon VII, which features a clock frequency of 1400 MHz and a HBM2 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also features a 4096-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 210		31 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 264 Watts (852%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon VII should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 1035776 (8092%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII should be much (more or less 7031%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 331288 (7031%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon VII should be quite a bit (more or less 3703%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 87244 (3703%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
