Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should theoretically be a lot better than the Radeon R5 M230 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M230		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 328064 (2050%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit (about 1169%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M230. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M230		15600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 182400 (1169%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be much (more or less 2721%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon R5 M230, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M230		3120 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84880 (2721%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must 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 AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
