Radeon R9 M365X vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5500, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1670 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 109960 (297%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 is much (more or less 261%) more effective at AA than the Radeon R9 M365X, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38640 (261%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant 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.
