Radeon RX 5700 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

The Radeon RX 5700 makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which features GPU clock speed of 2321 MHz, and (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6700 XT 393216 MB/sec
Difference: 65536 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 76%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT 371360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 210960 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 160400 (76%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be a lot (approximately 58%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT 148544 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 93760 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 54784 (58%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
