GeForce 930M vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has a clock frequency of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 should in theory be a lot faster than the GeForce 930M in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 280512 (1948%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is a lot (more or less 690%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 153728 (690%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 80576 (1085%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
