GeForce 825M vs Radeon HD 4650 512MB

Intro

The GeForce 825M comes with a core clock frequency of 850 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 4650 512MB, which uses a 55 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 600 MHz. The DDR2 RAM runs at a speed of 500 MHz on this card. It features 320(64x5) SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs 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 output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
