GeForce RTX 3060 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 925 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1125 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 3060 is 412% faster than the Radeon R9 M365X in general, due to its higher data rate. (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 (about 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

The GeForce RTX 3060 should be a lot (approximately 328%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 M365X, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

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