Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (100%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 XT will be 200% faster than the Radeon RX 560 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (200%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is quite a bit (approximately 163%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 122800 (163%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (more or less 368%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 69200 (368%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
