Radeon RX 5600 XT vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

The Radeon RX 5600 XT features clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1382 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM set to run at 1890 MHz through a 2048-bit bus. It also is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT 160 Watts
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 300 Watts
Difference: 140 Watts (88%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will be 44% quicker than the Radeon RX 5600 XT overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 495452 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT 344064 MB/sec
Difference: 151388 (44%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is quite a bit (approximately 79%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 353792 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT 198000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 155792 (79%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is just a bit (approximately 1%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 88448 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT 88000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 448 (1%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed 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 the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
