Radeon RX 5600 vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 570, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1168 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 should theoretically be much faster than the Radeon RX 570 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (29%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is just a bit (approximately 18%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 26496 (18%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the Radeon RX 570, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 50624 (135%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
