Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which comes with GPU core speed of 1605 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

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

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo should be 123% quicker than the Radeon RX 5700 XT overall, due to its higher 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 is much (approximately 99%) better at 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 will be a lot (more or less 25%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and also should be 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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
