Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		235 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 115 Watts (49%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo is 123% faster than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 565248 (123%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is quite a bit (about 90%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 243200 (90%)

Pixel Rate

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

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20480 (19%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
