GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features a core clock speed of 925 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1125 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3060, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M365X overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 296640 (412%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be much (more or less 300%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 110840 (300%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 48560 (328%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
