Radeon HD 4730 vs Radeon HD 5670

Intro

The Radeon HD 4730 makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 700 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 900 MHz on this model. It features 640(128x5) SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 5670, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 775 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 400(80x5) SPUs as well as 20 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon HD 5670 61 Watts
Radeon HD 4730 140 Watts
Difference: 79 Watts (130%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon HD 5670, in theory, should perform a small bit faster than the Radeon HD 4730 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 5670 64000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4730 57600 MB/sec
Difference: 6400 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 4730 will be a lot (about 45%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 5670. (explain)

Radeon HD 4730 22400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5670 15500 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 6900 (45%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon HD 5670 is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

Radeon HD 5670 6200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4730 5600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 600 (11%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 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 video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
