Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which comes with GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is a lot (about 159%) better 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

The Radeon Pro Duo will be much (approximately 45%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 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 amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
