Radeon R9 M375 vs Radeon RX Vega 56

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX Vega 56, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1156 MHz. The HBM2 RAM works at a speed of 1600 MHz on this card. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 224 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX Vega 56 should be a lot faster than the Radeon R9 M375 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 56		419430 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
	Difference: 384230 (1092%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 56 should be much (more or less 538%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 56		258944 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 218344 (538%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX Vega 56 is superior to the Radeon R9 M375, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 56		73984 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 57744 (356%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface 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 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video 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 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
