Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 150 Watts (188%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6700 XT is 243% quicker than the Radeon RX 560 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 278528 (243%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (about 394%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 296160 (394%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 690%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 129744 (690%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
