Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 180224 (157%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (more or less 134%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 100800 (134%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (more or less 368%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 69200 (368%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number 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 rate is also dependant on many 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.
