Radeon R9 M265X vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with core speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 should be 310% quicker than the Radeon R9 M265X overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M265X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 222912 (310%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (more or less 665%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M265X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M265X		23000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 153000 (665%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M265X		9200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78800 (857%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
