Radeon RX 5700 vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

The Radeon RX 5700 has a GPU core clock speed of 1465 MHz, and the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which features core speeds of 1382 MHz on the GPU, and 1890 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 180 Watts
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 300 Watts
Difference: 120 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should theoretically be a little bit superior to the Radeon RX 5700 in general. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 495452 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 458752 MB/sec
Difference: 36700 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is quite a bit (more or less 68%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 353792 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 210960 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 142832 (68%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 93760 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 88448 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 5312 (6%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
