Radeon R7 370 4G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 640000 (357%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XT should be much (about 708%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		504000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 441600 (708%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XT will be quite a bit (approximately 823%) better at AA than the Radeon R7 370 4G, and will be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		288000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 256800 (823%)

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 max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
