Radeon R9 M365X vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1717 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5500 XT, in theory, should perform much faster than the Radeon R9 M365X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 157376 (219%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is much (more or less 308%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 114096 (308%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be much (more or less 271%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 M365X, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 40144 (271%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
