Radeon R7 370 2G vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 370 2G		110 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (45%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 XT will be 92% faster than the Radeon R7 370 2G in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 164864 (92%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (more or less 217%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 370 2G. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 135600 (217%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 182%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon R7 370 2G, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G		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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at 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 video card could possibly record to its 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 output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
