Radeon R7 370 4G vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600, which has a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon R7 370 4G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 115712 (65%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (approximately 182%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 113600 (182%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 56800 (182%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it 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 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 in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
