Radeon R7 M260X vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with core clock 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

The Radeon RX 5600 should in theory be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M260X overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 230912 (361%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be much (about 789%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 156200 (789%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be a lot (approximately 1233%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 M260X, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 81400 (1233%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels 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 colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
