Radeon R7 370 2G vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

The Radeon R7 370 2G makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 975 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1400 MHz on this particular card. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which has GPU clock speed of 2200 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2250 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 1024 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6500 XT 107 Watts
Radeon R7 370 2G 110 Watts
Difference: 3 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 370 2G should be 22% faster than the Radeon RX 6500 XT in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G 179200 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6500 XT 147456 MB/sec
Difference: 31744 (22%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is a lot (more or less 126%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 370 2G. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT 140800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G 62400 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 78400 (126%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is superior to the Radeon R7 370 2G, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT 70400 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G 31200 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 39200 (126%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
