GeForce 940M vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce 940M		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 442752 (2767%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be much (more or less 720%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 940M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 940M		25728 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 185232 (720%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be a lot (approximately 993%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 940M, and capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 940M		8576 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85184 (993%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
