Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which has clock speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 memory. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
	Difference: 24576 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be much (more or less 52%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon VII. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 176000 (52%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is superior to the Radeon VII, by far. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38400 (43%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
