Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

The Radeon Pro Duo has clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 500 MHz on the 4096 MB of HBM RAM. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which has a core clock speed of 1825 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 4608 SPUs, 288 Texture Address Units, and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6800 XT 300 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo 350 Watts
Difference: 50 Watts (17%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo should be 95% faster than the Radeon RX 6800 XT in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo 1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6800 XT 524288 MB/sec
Difference: 499712 (95%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a bit (more or less 3%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon Pro Duo. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT 525600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon Pro Duo 512000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 13600 (3%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a lot (approximately 83%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon Pro Duo, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT 233600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Pro Duo 128000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 105600 (83%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
