Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which has clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 270 Watts (338%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Pro Duo should be 793% quicker than the Radeon RX 560 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 909312 (793%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be much (more or less 581%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 436800 (581%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 109200 (581%)

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 max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
