GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce GTX 860M

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 860M, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 797 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 1152 SPUs along with 96 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 860M		45 Watts
GeForce GTX 1650		75 Watts
	Difference: 30 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1650 will be 105% faster than the GeForce GTX 860M overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 860M		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 67072 (105%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 will be a little bit (more or less 9%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 860M. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 860M		76512 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6648 (9%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1650 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 860M		12752 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 34768 (273%)

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 MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 are applied per second. This number is worked out 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 graphics 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 the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
