Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M260 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 278912 (1743%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (about 926%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M260. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260		17160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 158840 (926%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be much (approximately 1438%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R7 M260, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260		5720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 82280 (1438%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
