GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon VII, which comes with clock speeds of 1400 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

	Difference: 237 Watts (409%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon VII should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 overall. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3		32384 MB/sec
	Difference: 1016192 (3138%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is a lot (about 3260%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3		10000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 326000 (3260%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon VII is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3		5000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84600 (1692%)

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 transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
