Radeon R9 M365X vs Radeon RX Vega 56

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX Vega 56, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1156 MHz, and 8192 MB of HBM2 RAM running at 1600 MHz through a 2048-bit bus. It also is made up of 3584 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX Vega 56 should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M365X overall. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 56		419430 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 347430 (483%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 56 is quite a bit (about 600%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 56		258944 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 221944 (600%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX Vega 56 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 56		73984 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 59184 (400%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
