Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon R7 360		100 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (60%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 XT, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 360 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 240064 (231%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 293%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 147600 (293%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (approximately 424%) more effective at AA than the Radeon R7 360, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 71200 (424%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
