Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 should be much faster than the Radeon R9 M265X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M265X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 222912 (310%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be much (more or less 665%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M265X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M265X		23000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 153000 (665%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the Radeon R9 M265X, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M265X		9200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78800 (857%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
