GeForce 940M vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 should be much faster than the GeForce 940M in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce 940M		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 278912 (1743%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be much (about 584%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 940M. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 940M		25728 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 150272 (584%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is quite a bit (approximately 926%) better at AA than the GeForce 940M, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 940M		8576 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 79424 (926%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends 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.
