Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 190 Watts (119%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo should be a lot faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT in general. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 679936 (198%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be quite a bit (about 159%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 314000 (159%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 40000 (45%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
