Radeon R7 370 4G vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R7 370 4G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 164864 (92%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit (about 217%) better at AF than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 135600 (217%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 56800 (182%)

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 max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 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 higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
