Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which has core speeds of 1605 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo should be 123% faster than the Radeon RX 5700 XT overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 565248 (123%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo will be quite a bit (approximately 99%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 255200 (99%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 25280 (25%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
