Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 480 4GB vs Radeon RX 5500
IntroThe Radeon RX 480 4GB makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon RX 5500, which has clock speeds of 1670 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB is a bit (more or less 10%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5500. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is the winner, by far. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated 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 one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
