Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

The Radeon Pro Duo will be a lot (approximately 99%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 255200 (99%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be a lot (more or less 25%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 25280 (25%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

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