Radeon R5 M330 vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

The Radeon R5 M330 features a core clock speed of 1030 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 320 SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5500, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1670 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 1408 Stream Processors, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5500 should in theory be a lot superior to the Radeon R5 M330 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 229376 MB/sec
Radeon R5 M330 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 214976 (1493%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 should be quite a bit (about 613%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R5 M330. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 146960 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R5 M330 20600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 126360 (613%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 53440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R5 M330 8240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 45200 (549%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
