GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which has GPU core speed of 1400 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 memory running at 1000 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is made up of 3840 Stream Processors, 240 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (69%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon VII should perform a lot faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 589824 (129%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is quite a bit (about 68%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 136080 (68%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4480 (5%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
