Radeon R7 370 2G vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 370 2G		110 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 should be 65% faster than the Radeon R7 370 2G in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 115712 (65%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be a lot (more or less 182%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 370 2G. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 113600 (182%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the Radeon R7 370 2G, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 2G		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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
