Radeon R9 M375X vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5500, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1670 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 1408 Stream Processors, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5500 should in theory be much superior to the Radeon R9 M375X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 157376 (219%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 is a lot (more or less 262%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 106360 (262%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 is a lot (approximately 229%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R9 M375X, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37200 (229%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
