GeForce GTX 965M		60 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (167%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 XT will be 438% quicker than the GeForce GTX 965M in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 965M		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 280064 (438%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 228%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 965M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 965M		60416 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 137584 (228%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 965M, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 965M		30208 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 57792 (191%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its 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 the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
