Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2304 Stream Processors, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 170 Watts (94%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon Pro Duo should in theory be a lot faster than the Radeon RX 5700 overall. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 565248 (123%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo will be much (more or less 143%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 301040 (143%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is superior to the Radeon RX 5700, by far. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 34240 (37%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure 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 graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
