GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (173%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5500 should be 187% quicker than the GeForce GTX 750 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
	Difference: 149376 (187%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 will be much (approximately 350%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 114320 (350%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 will be a lot (about 227%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 750, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37120 (227%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
