Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which has a clock speed of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 14000 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Pro Duo is 123% faster than the Radeon RX 5700 XT overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be much (more or less 99%) faster with regards to texture 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 will be quite a bit (more or less 25%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
